 NAF DEEPENS COMMUNITY IMPACT AS CAS COMMISSIONS SCHOOL ASSEMBLY HALL AND FLAGS OFF MEDICAL OUTREACH IN BEERI, RIVERS STATE


The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), on 11 December 2025, commissioned a Special Intervention Project (SIP) in Beeri, Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, as part of its sustained commitment to community development and strengthened civil–military relations. Executed by Air Vice Marshal BL Keenam (Rtd) under the directive of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), the initiative underscores the NAF’s people-centred approach to national development through impactful and sustainable social interventions.


The intervention comprised the construction of a 500-seating capacity School Assembly Hall at Beeri High School and the flag-off of a 3-day medical outreach for residents of the community. While the new assembly hall addresses the long-standing lack of a suitable multipurpose facility for academic and extracurricular activities, the medical outreach provides essential healthcare services, including medical screening, distribution of drugs and medicated eyeglasses, and the provision of walking aids, aimed at supporting vulnerable groups and easing the healthcare burden on families.


Speaking on behalf of the CAS, the Chief of Civil–Military Relations, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, described the project as a deliberate non-kinetic effort to build trust, reinforce goodwill, and complement ongoing security operations through community cooperation. The project facilitator, AVM BL Keenam (Rtd), expressed gratitude to the CAS for the opportunity to give back to his community, noting that the initiative reflects the NAF’s enduring commitment to education, healthcare, and community welfare, a sentiment echoed by community leaders who lauded the lasting impact of the intervention.
