In continuation of its sustained efforts at tackling current and emerging security challenges in the Country, especially in the North East, North West and North Central parts of the Country, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on 1st September 2020, commenced the construction of an aircraft maintenance hangar at the Special Operations Command (SOC), Bauchi.
Sitting on a plot of land donated by the Bauchi State Government straddling the NAF Base and the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport (ATBIA) Bauchi, the aircraft maintenance hangar, when completed, would not only serve the NAF and the aviation industry nationwide but would also drastically reduce the timeframe for turnaround maintenance of NAF platforms, thereby improving the effectiveness and efficiency of Air Power employment in the fight against insurgency.
