CAS to future commanders: Lead by example, serve with courage

 The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has tasked military commanders and graduating officers to lead by example and serve the country with courage.Abubakar gave the advice while delivering a lecture titled “From Vision to Reality: Strategic Leadership Insights from the CAS Command Philosophy” at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji.This is contained in a statement by the Director, Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, on Saturday in Abuja.The CAS said these values remain the bedrock of effective leadership and institutional transformation in the Armed Forces of Nigeria.According to him, leadership remains the most decisive factor in determining the success or failure of any military organisation. Everything rises and falls on leadership.Abubakar explained that the transformation in the NAF under his command is anchored on five key enablers—force optimisation, mission-oriented training, proactive logistics, research and development, and personnel welfare.He said these enablers, driven by leadership by example, courage and prudence, had strengthened NAF’s agility and responsiveness across all theatres of operation.Highlighting leadership by example, Abubakar revealed that he had undertaken over 40 operational visits covering 98 of 99 NAF units nationwide within two years.According to him, leadership is about presence, not proximity, noting that such engagements boost morale and strengthen accountability across the ranks.He underscored courage as a vital quality of command, citing his response to the 2023 Rukubi incident in Nasarawa State.The lecture ended with an interactive session that allowed open discussions on leadership, command philosophy, and professional growth.
