The CAS also ordered a Board of Inquiry to investigate the cause of the emergency.
He commended the coordinated response of fire and crash units, medical teams and other base personnel who secured the site and supported the recovery efforts.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), said the incident occurred shortly after take-off during a post-inspection functional check flight at NAF Base Kainji.
According to the NAF, the pilots kept their composure, maneuvered the aircraft away from populated areas and executed a safe ejection.
The service said both pilots were immediately recovered by Search and Rescue teams and are undergoing routine medical evaluation.
