خلال حوار له مع جريدة Leadership كشف قائد سلاح الجو النيجيري المارشال صادق أبو بكر عن الدعم الذي تقدمه كل من المغرب و مصر لبلاده في مجال تكوين الطيارين، حيث صرح أن مصر كونت 12 أو 16 طيار بعد طلب تقدم لقائد القوات الجوية المصرية خلال لقاء بينهما.
I met with the Egyptian Chief of Air Staff and solicited his support in terms of training of our pilots so that they can be more effective in what they are doing and he agreed and I think we have trained close to about 12 or 16 pilots there in Egypt. It was on tactical and combat training and they are back. The Egyptians use the same aircraft that we are using – the Alpha Jet.
فيما يخص المغرب فبعد زيارة قام بها سنة 2017 و بعد لقاء مع المفتش العام للقوات الملكية الجوية الجنرال العلوي طلب منه الدعم بحكم البنية التحتية وأن البلدين يشغلان Alphajet بعدها قام المغرب بتكوين أزيد من 20 ضابط طيار بالإضافة إلى تقنيي C-130.
كما قام فريق من القوات الجوية الملكية بالتنقل إلى قاعدة Kainji الجوية للمساعدة في حل بعض المشاكل التقنية كانت تعاني منها بعض طائرات القوات الجوية النيجيرية.
I also visited Morocco earlier and they are also flying the same Alpha Jet just like us but they are well ahead in terms of the training facilities they have. I was there to solicit support and the Moroccan Air Chief promised to cooperate with me.
Shortly after I came back, he gave us a number of slots for training. More than 20 of our officers have been to Morocco for training and similarly, their own people have also come to Nigeria to support us in Kainji when we had problem with our fighter aircraft that we could not resolve. They came here for some weeks and they helped to resolve all the problems. There was leakage of aviation fuel at that time and they came and worked with us and we fixed it. They also trained with some of our people in Morrocco on logistics and data management for the C-130 aircraft.
