The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has joined the global community to mark the International Day of Peace 2025 with a renewed pledge to foster peace, unity and stability both within Nigeria and beyond.
In a statement released to commemorate the day themed “Act Now for a Peaceful World”, the NAF stressed that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a broader pursuit of harmony, compassion and cooperation.
“While our primary duty is to safeguard the nation’s airspace and ensure operational readiness, our role also extends to deterring aggression, fostering stability, and supporting humanitarian operations during crises and natural disasters,” the statement noted.
The NAF further highlighted the importance of international collaborations, joint exercises and partnerships as part of its contributions to building trust and strengthening global security.
Beyond combat operations, the Force emphasized its commitment to nurturing Civil-Military Relations. “We actively engage with communities, empower citizens, and prioritize the protection of civilians in ways that advance shared prosperity,” it added.
Reaffirming its stance, the NAF pledged to continue acting as a pillar of peace in Nigeria and a partner in international security. “A safer, more harmonious world is possible when we act together,” the statement concluded.
