Gatekeepers News reports that the President further urged the Air Force not to stop at its investigations alone but to publish and implement the recommendations of the reports of past investigations into air accidents, to prevent future occurrences.
Buhari made this known in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled ‘President Buhari mourns victims of Nigerian Air Force plane crash in Kaduna.’
The names of the late officers are Flight Lieutenant Abubakar Alkali and Flight Lieutenant Elijah Karatu.
The President said, “I am shocked beyond words by the demise of these two promising young men who risked their lives in the service of the country.
“There is no reward big enough to pay for the services of these young and dedicated professional airmen in the service of their country.”
While extending his sympathies to the Chief of Air Staff and the families of the deceased, Buhari called for “more safety measures to forestall tragic incidents of this kind.”
The President added, “I welcome the decision by the NAF authorities to investigate this accident, but I also call on them to publish and implement the recommendations of the reports of past investigations into air accidents, with a view to preventing future tragedies and putting closure to the families and friends of the deceased.”
