Speaking at the event, the Acting Customs Area Controller, Deputy Controller (DC) Oladapo Afeni, described the honourees as officers who demonstrated discipline, courage and commitment to serving a cause greater than themselves.

“To our retiring officers, tonight is about honouring a lifetime of duty, leadership and unyielding integrity. You have carried the weight of responsibility on your shoulders, guided younger generations and anchored this organisation through every season,” Afeni said.

The Acting CAC noted that the standards established by the retiring officers would continue to serve as a reference point for those still in active service. He also encouraged the retirees to embrace their transition from active service as an opportunity to explore new experiences and devote more quality time to their families and loved ones.

Commissioning the facility on 18 September 2026, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, DFS, stated that providing decent accommodation for personnel and their families is essential to building a focused, motivated and mission-ready force capable of meeting Nigeria’s security demands.

Represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal AY Abdullahi, the CAS noted that the facility reflects the Service’s sustained investment in the wellbeing of its personnel. He emphasised that an airman provided with decent living conditions is better positioned to remain focused and fully committed to duty, as improved accommodation helps reduce domestic pressures while enhancing morale, productivity and operational effectiveness.

The 30-flat facility is expected to ease accommodation challenges and improve the quality of life of beneficiaries while contributing to NAF’s capacity to deliver airpower in support of national security objectives.

The CAS urged personnel to maintain the facility responsibly, stressing that investments in welfare are not only about improving living conditions but are also critical to sustaining a professional, resilient and effective fighting force.
