The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, has reaffirmed his commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian Air Force personnel.
He spoke while inaugurating new accommodation and recreational facilities at the NAF Camp in Legico Barracks, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The projects include two blocks of 24 two-bedroom flats, one block of 40 one-bedroom flats, and a purpose-built sports complex for airmen and airwomen.
Air Marshal Aneke said the developments reflect his sustained focus on personnel welfare, which remains a central pillar of his command philosophy.
He explained that a motivated, professional, and mission-ready force is essential for delivering decisive air power in support of national security objectives.
The Chief of Air Staff noted that adequate housing reduces welfare-related pressure, promotes family stability, and allows personnel to focus fully on operational duties.
He stressed that ensuring the comfort of officers’ families would help personnel give their best service to the Nigerian Air Force.
Air Marshal Aneke commended his predecessor for initiating and completing the housing project on time.
He urged officers, airmen, and airwomen to remain worthy ambassadors of the service, maintain good relations with host communities and sister security agencies, and properly maintain the facilities.
According to him, their conduct must always reflect discipline, professionalism, and loyalty to the nation.
Earlier, the Commander, 055 NAF Camp Lagos, Group Captain Ayomide Omokunga, said the Chief of Air Staff continues to prioritise welfare to boost morale, cohesion, and operational effectiveness.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of keys to beneficiaries.
