Benue-born AFMS Emerges Overall Best Graduating Student
AFMS 19/5447 JACM Obekpa O.Joshua, a proud son of Benue State, has emerged as the overall best graduating student from the prestigious Air Force Military School (AFMS),Jos.
JACM Obekpa O.Joshua hails from Ejule Owukpa in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State. He was born on the 23rd of October, 2007, into the family of Master Warrant Officer Obekpa Pius Obute (Rtd.). He is the youngest of nine children and the younger brother of Comrade Obekpa Alexander.
Before his admission into AFMS Jos, Joshua served as the Head Boy of the Air Force Primary School, Makurdi a role in which he demonstrated early signs of excellence and leadership.
With an outstanding academic and disciplinary record, JACM Obekpa O.Joshua has set his sights on becoming an Air Force fighter pilot. His ambition is both noble and patriotic, deserving of encouragement and support.
I therefore call on all well-meaning Nigerians, Ogbadibo LGA elites,the Benue State Government,and the Nigerian Air Force authorities to support this exceptionally brilliant young man in achieving his lifelong dream of serving the nation in the skies.
