Question Nigerian Presidential Air Fleet

Hello everybody, I know I'm about to take a dive into the deep end with this question but hey I guess it's worth asking so here it goes.

What's the deal with the Presidential Air Fleet in Nigeria? Who flies the aircraft...civilians or the airforce? Finally, how can one get in?

Thanks for your help.

G4/G5 are flown by civillians,but the BBJ and the FALCON 900 mostly by the NAF.The civillians are been phased out though!

Thanks a lot fellas. As a "bloody civilian ," I guess I'll be barking up the wrong tree if i try my luck there. But I must admit, 'em Gulfstreams look pretty sweet. I hope Mr. Yar' Adua decides to keep civilians in the posse.
