Speaking during a lecture titled “Military Strategic Leadership: My Perspective” to participants of Air War Course 12/2026 at the Air Force War College Nigeria (AFWCN), Makurdi on 29 June 2026, the CAS emphasised that today’s complex security environment demands leaders with the foresight, adaptability and collaborative mindset required to deliver decisive military effects. Participants comprised senior officers of the Nigerian Air Force, Nigerian Army and Nigerian Navy, alongside allied officers from Botswana, Cameroon, Ghana and the Kingdom of Morocco.

Air Marshal Aneke observed that effective military leadership goes beyond command authority to inspiring people, shaping institutions and translating national strategic objectives into operational success. Quoting one of the central messages of his lecture, he stressed that “Synergy is not optional; it is a strategic necessity,” noting that integrated planning and coordinated execution enable commanders to achieve effects beyond the capability of any single Service.

He explained that the deliberate integration of airpower with surface forces enhances operational effectiveness and remains central to addressing contemporary security challenges.

The CAS further highlighted that his Command Philosophy is focused on building a highly motivated, professional and mission-ready force capable of delivering effective airpower in synergy with surface forces for the realisation of national security objectives. He explained that this vision is being advanced through mission-focused training, personnel development, innovation, strategic partnerships and a proactive approach to sustaining operational readiness. According to him, “Strategic leadership depends on policy foresight rather than reactive decision-making,” underscoring the importance of preparing leaders for future security challenges.

Emphasising the human dimension of military capability, Air Marshal Aneke reminded the participants that the strength of any Air Force ultimately lies in its people. He urged the future commanders to cultivate strategic thinking, ethical leadership, emotional intelligence and a lifelong commitment to professional development, stressing that investment in personnel remains fundamental to operational excellence. He further encouraged them to foster trust across Services and with partner nations, describing it as the foundation for successful joint operations and enduring military effectiveness.

The lecture concluded with an engaging interactive session during which participants exchanged ideas with the Chief of the Air Staff on strategic leadership, joint operations and future warfare.

The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, has issued a strong warning to police officers against extorting commercial tricycle operators, motorists and other residents of Abuja.

Speaking during an address to officers, Sanusi said any policeman found collecting illegal money from members of the public would be regarded as a criminal rather than a law enforcement officer.

According to him, “You cannot be both a police officer and a thief. We don’t want to receive any reports of officers extorting keke riders or motorists in Abuja. The day we receive such complaints against you, you are a thief.”

The police commissioner stressed that the duty of officers is to protect lives and property, enforce the law professionally and treat members of the public with respect. He warned that the FCT Police Command would not tolerate harassment, intimidation or any form of unprofessional conduct by its personnel.

Sanusi further assured residents that the command remains committed to building public trust through discipline, accountability and intelligence-driven policing. He urged officers to uphold the image of the Nigeria Police Force and avoid any act capable of bringing the institution into disrepute.
