The Nigerian National Assembly approved
the creation of an air force in 1962,
and the government sought assistance
initially from Ethiopia, India, Britain,
the United States, Canada, and particularly
West Germany. West Germany received
a contract in 1963 to create the Nigerian
air force from scratch, including designing
and setting up its legal and organizational
framework; recruiting and training personnel;
furnishing equipment, supplies, maintenance,
and construction services; and providing
the first generation of twenty Dornier
Do-27 liaison/transports and fourteen
Piaggio 149D primary trainer aircraft.
The Nigerian air force (NAF) was officially
established by the 1964 Air Act, which
also provided for an air force reserve
to which officers and enlisted personnel
would be transferred on completion of
active service.
From the 1970s onward, the NAF expanded
considerably, acquired a large and diversified
inventory of combat and support aircraft,
and substantially improved its ability
to perform its primary missions of defending
the country's airspace, of supporting
the army and navy, and of conducting
rescue operations over land and sea.
The NAF Is organized into four specialized
air commands: Tactical Air (headquartered
in Makurdi), Training (Kaduna), Logistics
(Ikeja), and Airlift (Ibadan), which
was formed in June 1988. There are fifteen
major air bases, the largest located
at Benin, Enugu, Kaduna, Kano, Lagos,
Makurdi, and Port Harcourt.

In 1956, Oando Plc commenced business
operations as a petroleum marketing
company in Nigeria under the name “ESSO
West Africa Incorporated”, a subsidiary
of Exxon Corporation of the USA. In
1969, the company was incorporated under
Nigeria Laws as “Esso Standard
Nigeria Limited”. In 1976, the
Nigeria Government bought Esso’s
interest and thus became the 100% owner
of the company. The company was then
re-branded “Unipetrol Nigeria
Limited”.
In 2000, under the 2nd phase of the
Federal Government of Nigeria’s
privatization programme, Ocean &
Oil Services Limited became a core investor
by acquiring 30% of the Federal Government’s
40% equity stake in the Company. The
remaining 10% was sold to the Nigerian
public. The investment in the then Unipetrol
Nigeria Plc by Ocean & Oil Services
Limited was with the support of its
International Technical Partners, Compania
Espanola De Petroleos (CEPSA), who are
currently the 2nd largest Oil Group
in Spain and ranks among the top 10
Oil Groups in Europe. In August 2002,
the Company acquired Agip Petroli’s
60% stake of Agip Nigeria Plc. The sale
of the 60% interest of AgipPetroli International
was the result of an international bid
conducted by AgipPetroli International
B.V. with the assistance of an international
adviser during which Agip Petroli International
selected the then Oando Plc.
Following the acquisition of Agip Nigeria
Plc, the company was again re-branded
to “Oando Plc” in 2003.
