Balami said: “As the longest-serving National President of NAAPE for the last 40 years, I can only share the great honour and privilege it has been to lead our aviators through thick and thin. This milestone would not have been possible without the ongoing support of executive, to whom I will always be grateful. When I finally step down next year, I am certain that I will be able to look back, reflect and then smile with pride at the legacy that our great team efforts and recurring value that this amazing team has helped me to achieve.”
