Vanguard- President Goodluck Jonathan on
Tuesday in Kaduna unveiled the country’s first indigenous unmanned aerial
vehicle, GULMA, designed and constructed by the Nigerian Air Force.
Speaking at the ceremony, Jonathan said
that the unveiling of the vehicle marked another landmark moment in the
nation’s history.
He said that besides its diverse
military application, the vessel would provide a range of benefits in disaster
management, power line surveys and law enforcement.
Jonathan said that the vehicle would
also be useful in aerial imaging/mapping, telecommunications and weather
monitoring.
“It is also rapidly becoming an
important tool in news coverage, environmental monitoring, and oil and gas
exploration.
“Considering the potential impact of
its benefit and versatility, I cannot but say how proud I am of the men and
women of our Armed Forces.
“Apart from their commitment to the
protection of our sovereignty, they are helping to keep our nation ahead in
military science and technology and to keep their civilian counterparts on
their toes.
“Today, as we stand in appreciation of the gallant men and women of our Air
Force, we are reminded that hard work and diligence can break many barriers,’’
he said.
