NAF Establishes Directorate to Manage Landed Properties
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has established a new directorate to handle the service’s landed properties located across the country.
The Directorate of Land Administration will be responsible for securing, controlling, documenting, managing, and administering all NAF landed properties nationwide.
Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the Director of Public Relations and Information announced this on Thursday in Abuja.
Gabkwet said the creation of the directorate was necessary to ensure the efficient and effective management of NAF’s landed properties.

He added that the directorate would also help to protect NAF’s assets from encroachment and illegal occupation.
He said the land directorate would interface with government ministries, and NAF Base Commanders to expeditiously dispense all cases of trespasses and encroachments on NAF lands in line with extant laws.
The spokesman explained that NAF wanted to address the incessant issues of trespass, encroachment and needless disputes over un-demarcated or unfenced boundaries, and avoid conflicts and disputes with civilians, institutions or organisations.
“The need for the NAF to address this situation is also expedient as some of these encroachments constitute a risk to the security of some NAF Bases with implications on national security,” he added.
