She was commissioned as a
Combat Flying Officer alongside 126 others who finished the Direct Short
Service Course 2010/2011 Cadets of the 325 Ground Training Group at the
Nigerian Air Force Base, Kaduna.
Present at the winging ceremony (badge decoration)
was the then Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Mohammad Dikko Umar who
described her training as a ‘very laudable achievement‘.
She was quite excited and proud to have made
history and said: “It is very uplifting and I feel very proud of myself though
it has been very challenging. Coming from the civil war and the civil
mentality, the Air Force has done a great job because it has changed our
orientation. I believe that all females have equal opportunity to dignify their
rights in whatever adventure they choose they can do.”
‘As a first female pilot I would want to make a
mark that would encourage other females to join the military because I believe
that all females have equal opportunity to exercise their rights in whatever
they choose to do, I believe that all female Nigerians who choose to become
pilots can do it since I have done it.
This is a remarkable achievement, one that should
drive our ladies to know and see themselves as been able to achieve the impossible
and break the so called glass ceiling in any sphere you find yourself
