The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has unveiled 15 key infrastructure projects in Abuja, to bolster personnel welfare and operational capacity in commemoration of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) 60th anniversary.

A statement by AVM Edward Gabkwet, Director of Public Relations and Information, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the infrastructure developments is to address critical needs within the force.

Gabkwet highlighted some of the key projects located at NAF Base, Asokoro, to include a 40-bed NAF Hospital, sports complex, NAF Microfinance Bank, fire bay, and a 56-shop market plaza.
He said these facilities are expected to improve the quality of life for NAF personnel and their families.

According to him, CAS also unveiled the NAF Airmen Mini Base in Karu, new officers’ quarters in Garki and Karimu, a six-story headquarters annex building in Gudu, and a state-of-the-art Airport Commandant’s office at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

The Air Spokesman said one of the most ambitious projects is the groundbreaking ceremony for the proposed NAF Centre of Excellence Complex on Bill Clinton Drive.
