Blessing Liman was commissioned as a Combat Flying Officer alongside
126 others who finished the Direct Short Service Course 2010/2011 Cadets of the
325 Ground Training Group at the Nigerian Air Force Base, Kaduna.
Present at the winging ceremony (badge decoration) was the
then Chief of Air Staff, Air-Vice Marshal Mohammad Dikko Umar who described her
training as a ‘very laudable achievement‘.
She was quite excited and proud to have made history and
said: “It is very uplifting and I feel very proud of myself though it has been
very challenging. Coming from the civil war and the civil mentality, the Air
Force has done a great job because it has changed our orientation. I believe
that all females have equal opportunity to dignify their rights in whatever
adventure they choose they can do.”
As a first female pilot I would want to make a mark that would encourage other females to join the military because I believe that all females have equal opportunity to exercise their rights in whatever they choose to do, I believe that all female Nigerians who choose to become pilots can do it since I have done it.
This is a remarkable achievement, one that should drive our
ladies to know and see themselves as been able to achieve the impossible and
break the so called glass ceiling in any sphere you find yourself.
