As part of the activities commemorating its 61st anniversary of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Base Kainji in Niger State came alive with a vibrant Open Day, drawing students, families, and aviation lovers into a world of flight and service.
The Open Day event kicked off nationwide, at all NAF bases across the country from 1 to 15 May 2025.
This special initiative, themed “Come See Your Air Force,” aims to foster stronger civil-military relations and offer Nigerians a unique opportunity to witness the inner workings of their Air Force firsthand.
From powerful aircraft displays to engaging exhibitions, and a thrilling novelty football match, the event offered a rare chance for the public to interact with the Force and witness its capabilities beyond the skies.
“I never imagined I’d stand beside a fighter jet,” said Azeez Gafar, a student. “Today, I saw heroes in uniform and felt inspired.”
These captivating moments reflect not just NAF’s strength, but its commitment to connect, engage, and inspire the next generation.
