The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has appointed Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame as its new Director of Public Relations and Information. Ejodame takes over from Air Vice Marshal Olusola Akinboyewa, who previously held the position and made significant strides in advancing the NAF’s communication strategies.
In a statement issued on Thursday by Group Captain Kabir Ali, the Deputy Director of Public Relations and Information, the NAF described Ejodame as a seasoned officer whose wealth of experience spans logistics, strategic planning, and defence management. His appointment is expected to bolster the Air Force’s public relations and strategic communication efforts, further reinforcing its commitment to professionalism and transparency.
The newly appointed spokesperson is a distinguished member of the 45th Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy. Over the years, Ejodame has demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication, earning him the reputation of a reliable and efficient officer within the military hierarchy. His service record reflects his commitment to upholding the values and standards of the Nigerian Air Force, making him a fitting choice for this critical role.
Under Ejodame’s leadership, the NAF Public Relations and Information Department is poised to continue its mission of providing accurate and timely information to the public while also fostering a transparent and professional image for the Air Force. His appointment comes at a time when effective communication and public engagement are essential to maintaining public confidence in the nation’s security apparatus.
Air Vice Marshal Akinboyewa, the outgoing spokesperson, leaves behind a legacy of strategic communication improvements and operational transparency. His tenure was marked by a renewed focus on personnel well-being, upgraded medical capabilities, and decisive communication during military operations, particularly in counterinsurgency efforts across the country.
As Ejodame steps into this pivotal role, expectations are high for continued progress in fostering public awareness and maintaining positive civil-military relations. His strategic insight and leadership are anticipated to guide the NAF’s public communications into a new era of effectiveness and integrity.
The Nigerian Air Force continues to prioritize transparency and public engagement in line with its core values, and the appointment of Air Commodore Ejodame as spokesperson underscores its dedication to maintaining strong and open lines of communication with the Nigerian public.
