The Head Coach of Nigeria Air Force (NAF) Rockets, Master Warrant Officer Yakubu Zango identified unwavering support from the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar as their major source of motivation.
Zango expressed confidence in the ability of his players to succeed going forward and pledged to consolidate their performance.
He said, “I feel excited recording three wins in three games and lack words to describe the performance of the players.
“It means the NAF Rockets volleyball club is back through the instrumentality of the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, and of course the Director of Sports; the team is in the Division 2 League to make a definite statement.
“The motivation in the first place is that the Chief of Air Staff is solidly behind the team because he is interested in their success of and knows what we want.
“Anytime the team makes a request, he grants it. We are the only team in the country to fly to the venue of the league at the first phase in Owerri, Imo State”.
He said NAF has a bright chance of making it to the Nigeria Division 1 Volleyball League.
Zango said, “I don’t expect anything less than success and qualification to the National Division 1. If we have quality time to prepare, the sky will be our starting point”.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
