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
