 “I WALKED THESE SAME GROUNDS AS A BOY”: CAS RETURNS TO ALMA MATER WITH MESSAGE OF HOPE AND INSPIRATION


In an emotionally charged visit with a powerful call to a life of excellence and purpose, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, on 27 May 2025, returned to the Nigerian Military School (NMS), Zaria, his alma mater, where he charged young boys to look to the future with hope and preparedness.


Speaking not just as CAS but as an Ex-boy, Air Marshal Abubakar, during an interactive session with the students, reflected on how the institution shaped his life and set him on the path to military and personal excellence. “I stand here today as living proof that with discipline, purpose, and God's grace, no dream is too big to achieve,” he declared, drawing loud cheers from the assembled students.


He reminded the students that time moves quickly and urged them to understand that “greatness doesn’t happen overnight; it begins with small acts of excellence done consistently.” He encouraged them to train hard, study smart, and aim to excel in their examinations. “Stay curious, be kind, believe in something greater than yourself, and most importantly, believe in your future,” he added.


Earlier, the CAS commissioned a newly  remodelled and upgraded Medical Reception Station that he sponsored at the School. The facility features a modernized infrastructure and sophisticated equipment, including an ultrasound machine and advanced lab equipment.  He also inspected a parade held in his honour as part of activities marking the 71st Anniversary of the School. In his remarks during the parade, he expressed delight over the impressive regimental display by the students and implored them to “stay focused, committed, and never lose pride in this remarkable heritage.”


The parade served as more than just a ceremonial gesture, it was a homecoming. The CAS’ presence electrified the atmosphere, serving as a powerful reminder to every student that greatness can rise from familiar halls, parade grounds, and classroom benches.
