The need to airlift troops in the course of these peacekeeping operations signalled the importance of the country having a national airforce.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently between 1962 and 1964, the Nigerian Parliament began the process of institutionalizing the Nigerian Airforce. Eventually, the organization was established to ensure the integrity of the airspace by gaining and maintaining control of the air while retaining a credible capacity to fulfill other airpower tasks expected of the national defence and security outfit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-179856\" src=\"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nigerian-Airforce-Form-Recruitment-Details.jpg\" alt=\"nigerian airforce salary structure\" width=\"372\" height=\"135\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Below were the aims and objectives which the Nigerian Parliament expected of the newly formed Nigerian Airforce:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To achieve a full complement of the military defence system of the Federal Republic of Nigeria both in the air and on the ground.<\/li>\n<li>To ensure a fast versatile mobility of the Armed Forces.<\/li>\n<li>To provide close support for the ground-based and sea borne forces in all phases of operations and to ensure the territorial integrity of a united Nigeria.<\/li>\n<li>To give the country the deserved prestige that is invaluable in international matters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first batch of cadets was enlisted in 1962. They were 10 in number and they obtained their training with the Ethiopian Airforce. In 1963, another set of 6 was sent out to Canada to be trained by the Royal Canadian Airforce.<\/p>\n<p>From sending out cadets to be trained in foreign countries, the Nigerian Government decided to start training these recruits within the country. The German Airforce was contacted to train these cadets.<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, their training was put to test during the Nigerian Civil war between 1967 and 1970.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, in the last 45 years, the NAF has been involved in operations to defend the Nigerian territory.
