In order to commemorate its 61st anniversary, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) held a free medical outreach on Saturday in Port Harcourt’s Rumuomasi neighborhood.
The outreach, which was organized by the Nigerian Air Force Reference Hospital, offered free healthcare services like reading glasses, dental and eye exams, laboratory tests, and medical consultations.
Wing Commander Bashir Adamu, Group Captain Adekunle Abdulateef, the commander of the 115 Special Operations Group, described the outreach as a sign of the NAF’s commitment to community service and a crucial component of its corporate social responsibility.
Our unwavering commitment to the people we serve is demonstrated by this medical outreach. It reflects our efforts to touch the hearts of our host communities as well as our air bases as well as those of our neighbors. It is done to maintain civil-military relations within our professional environments.
The NAF, one of the services of the Nigerian Armed Forces, has been in charge of providing essential amenities or medical outreach to the host communities, according to Adamu.
He noted that the Rumuomasi Community made the decision to hold this year’s medical outreach because they thought the state’s residents needed urgently, and that Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, the chief of the Air Staff, was also conducting the initiative while also serving various host communities throughout the nation.
Squadron Leader Tamunoene Ebenezer, in addition to Air Commodore Ikechukwu Ogbodo, the NAF Reference Hospital, reaffirmed the Air Force’s commitment to civil-military cooperation. He emphasized that the outreach was not just about promoting medical care but also fostering a stronger military-civil partnership.
Our effectiveness is also impacted by our interaction with the populace, not just by our operational prowess. He said that this initiative fosters goodwill, builds trust, and demonstrates that the Nigerian Air Force is a people-centered institution.
