The Commissioner of Police and Accountable Manager of the Nigeria Police Force Airwing, CP Martin Nwogoh, on Tuesday hosted two newly appointed security chiefs—Air Commodore Oluwaseun Ayomide Oluwatayo, Commander of the 307 Executive Airlift Group (EAG), Nigerian Air Force, and CIS Boma Anidima Solomon Pepple, Comptroller of Immigration Service, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Command—during a courtesy visit aimed at deepening strategic collaboration as key agencies operating at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The two visitors were personally and warmly received by CP Nwogoh at the Police Airwing Hangar, marking a renewed commitment to strengthening relationships within the aviation security ecosystem. The visits, which underscore the growing emphasis on inter-agency cooperation, come at a time when national security structures continue to evolve to confront emerging challenges.
Speaking to journalists after the engagement, CP Nwogoh described the visits as “quite strategic,” emphasizing their importance in building synergy and collaboration across agencies operating at Nigeria’s busiest gateway.
He noted that upon assuming duty, he had visited all key partners including the Air Force, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and other stakeholders in the aviation sector to cement working relationships. He expressed satisfaction with the gesture being reciprocated, describing it as a show of support and alignment with the Police Airwing.
He stressed that no single security organization can operate in isolation, especially within an airport environment, which he described as a “family ecosystem” where cooperation is essential.
CP Nwogoh reaffirmed the Police Airwing’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards as part of efforts to ensure Nigeria remains safe for all, particularly as airports serve as the first point of contact for visitors entering the country. He commended the media for covering the visit and reiterated the collective responsibility of security agencies in safeguarding the aviation sector.
The first visitor of the day, Air Commodore Oluwaseun Ayomide Oluwatayo of the 307 Executive Airlift Group, called for deeper collaboration among military, police, and paramilitary agencies, especially in the area of available special training initiatives that would enable personnel to better appreciate the operational demands of military service.
He praised CP Nwogoh for his professionalism and emphasized the need for synergy between the 307 EAG and the Police Airwing in the interest of national security.
On her part, CIS Pepple explained that her visit was driven by a desire to foster a united relationship between the Immigration Service and the Police Airwing. She noted that regardless of the rapport that existed with her predecessor, she believed it was important for all agencies to work together “as one family for the sake of our dear country.” CIS Pepple highlighted the Immigration Service’s ongoing role in combating the smuggling of migrants, pointing out the close connection between smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons.
The visits concluded with a shared commitment to intensify cooperation among the Nigerian Air Force, Nigeria Police Force, and Nigeria Immigration Service, reinforcing a united front in addressing security challenges within Nigeria, particularly in the aviation sector.
