Headquarters base for Tactical Air Command in Makurdi with multiple support units and regional operational responsibilities. Makurdi Air Force Base is home to the Nigerian Air Force’s Tactical Air Command headquarters and multiple support units; official NAF materials list Makurdi as TAC HQ with engineering, communications, base services and hospital elements, and on-base education facilities confirm the base’s location along Makurdi–Gboko Road. The base oversees operational squadrons and detachments across the region and has hosted public “Open Day” outreach as part of NAF anniversaries, highlighting its role as a central North-Central hub for operational planning, training support and logistics rather than a civilian passenger facility.
