Nigerian Defence Academy Celebrates Historic Achievement of Lt Changfe Maigari

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) is beaming with pride as one of its own, Lt ( NN) Changfe Maigari, makes history as the first female pilot in the Nigerian Navy. This remarkable achievement is a testament to Maigari's dedication, perseverance, and passion for flying.

Maigari's journey began in 2016 when she graduated from the NDA and was commissioned as a Sub Lieutenant. She subsequently served aboard the Nigerian Navy Ship Unity and completed her basic pilot training, fulfilling all requirements to become a certified pilot.

The NDA is proud to have played a significant role in Maigari's achievement. As one of the first 20 female regular cadets trained at the NDA, Maigari's success is an inspiration to female officer cadets and indeed all Nigerian girls. Her achievement demonstrates that with hard work and determination, women can break barriers and achieve greatness in any field.

We are thrilled to celebrate Lt. Maigari's historic achievement. Her success is a testament to the NDA's commitment to producing exceptional officers who can make a positive impact in their chosen fields. We are proud to have her as an alumna and look forward to seeing the impact she will make in the Nigerian Navy.

Maigari's achievement is not only a milestone for the NDA but also for the Nigerian Navy and the country as a whole. It demonstrates that Nigeria is committed to promoting gender equality and empowering women to take on leadership roles in various sectors.

The NDA congratulates Lt Maigari on her achievement and wishes her continued success in her career.
