The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, has officially absorbed graduates of Air Force Girls’ Military School, AFGMS, also known as Ex-Junior Air Women, Ex-JAWs, into its ranks as Airwomen.
This is contained in a statement by NAF’s Director, Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, on Monday in Abuja.
Ejodame said the development, the first of its kind, was part of NAF’s effort to promote gender inclusion by extending its absorption policy initially designed exclusively for AFMS graduates.
He said the policy review had opened up exciting career opportunities for young women who are interested in serving in the NAF as Non-Commissioned Officers.
According to him, the first beneficiaries of this transformative policy are the members of the AFGMS Class of 2017, who graduated in August 2023.
