FOREST SECURITY (SERVICE) BILL
The recent Forest Protection Bill that was passed into law by the Federal Government of Nigeria has seen various voluntary bodies springing up and jostling for the role.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF MAN O' WAR NIGERIA IN NATIONAL SECURITY?
Man O' War, a Federal Government Owned (Voluntary) Paramilitary organisation under the Federal Ministry of Youths Development, and overseen by the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre has continually been neglected by the Federal Government of Nigeria despite the organisation's positive impact to National Security, School Security, Youth building (NYSC), and the likes.
Man O' War has able bodied men and women (with a confirmed) verified personnel strength of 12000+, all having a centralised Service Number issued to them by the National Command.
Is the Federal Government saying that Man O' War is a waste of promising youths' time, resources, strength and loyalty and patriotism? Over time, we've seen new organisations come and engaged by the Federal Government, but Man O' War caste aside. This is unfair to youths and personnel of the organisation that have dedicated their lives to the Service of the country, and a mockery of such.
WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF LOYALTY AND PATRIOTISM WHEN IT IS NOT RECOGNISED?
The Federal Government of Nigeria can do better and make use of the readily available organised structure/platform available in Man O' War instead of creating and looking for fresh non structured body that has to go through unnecessary basic (training) that have been taught Man O' War personnel called 'Warbays'.
It is high time the Federal Government take Man O' War as a valuable body in the country security, or scrap it if they find no use for he, rather than continually waste her members' life on the altar of VOLUNTEERISM.

NAF MAKES HISTORY: OFFICIALLY ABSORBS FIRST SET OF EX-JAWs AS AIRWOMEN

In a groundbreaking move for gender inclusion, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has officially welcomed its first set of Ex-Junior Air Women (Ex-JAWs) into its ranks as Airwomen. This historic development comes as the NAF extends its Absorption Policy, initially designed exclusively for graduates of the Air Force Military School (AFMS), known as Ex-Junior Air Men (Ex-JAMs), to include their female counterparts from Air Force Girls' Military School (AFGMS). The policy review now opens up exciting career opportunities for young women interested in serving in the NAF as Non-Commissioned Officers.

The first beneficiaries of this transformative policy are the members of the AFGMS Class of 2017, who graduated in August 2023. After a rigorous selection process, these young women entered the 2024 NAF recruitment training at NAF Base, Kaduna, where they successfully completed their military training. They have now proudly joined the NAF ranks, marking a new chapter in the history of gender equality within the service.

The policy revision not only provides Ex-JAWs with a direct pathway to military service but also opens doors to educational and professional growth through the NAF’s training programmes. For many of these women, this opportunity represents more than a career, it offers a future built on pride, purpose, and empowerment.

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, expressed his vision stating, "This is a moment of triumph for every girl who has ever dreamed of wearing the uniform. It is a testament to the Air Force’s commitment to empowering young women and ensuring equal opportunities for all."

The newly absorbed Airwomen, shaped by the discipline and leadership instilled at AFGMS, are set to contribute significantly to the NAF and the nation. The CAS noted that “over the past 39 years, AFGMS has produced more than 3,500 graduates who have gone on to lead in various sectors, including the Armed Forces, government, academia, and other corporations”.

As these pioneering women step into their roles, they carry with them not just a legacy of achievement but also the message that gender is no barrier to excellence, service, or nation-building. They are not just making history; they are rewriting it.
