Naval chief inaugurates six blocks of classrooms, toilets in Adamawa community
The Chief of Naval Staff, Idi Abbas, on Thursday inaugurated six blocks of renovated classrooms and newly constructed toilets at Central Primary School, Mayo-Belwa Local Government, Adamawa State.
Mr Abbas, represented by Raheem Taofeek, said the project is a quick special intervention scheme and a corporate social responsibility of the Nigerian Navy to give back to the community.
According to him, the project is being executed by the Navy secretary, Abdulhamid Baba-Inna, in his hometown in line with the vision of President Bola Tinubu.
He encouraged the beneficiaries to use the facilities responsibly for maximum benefit.
In his remarks, Mr Baba-Inna said the project was to improve the learning environment to be conducive for the pupils and teachers.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this project aligns squarely with the Nigerian Navy’s civil-military cooperation and relations framework.
“We recognise that our effectiveness is not measured solely by operational successes at sea or on the battlefield but also by the strength of our relationship with the people we serve.
“Projects such as this are deliberate efforts to build trust, foster goodwill and strengthen the bond between the military and civil society,” he said.
According to him, the classes and offices are provided with tables and chairs as well as solar-powered lights to enhance safety and security in the school.
Mr Baba-Inna urged the pupils and teachers to take ownership of the project for maximum benefit.
In his remarks, Member I, Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board (ADSUBEB), Adiyal Kurdah, expressed gratitude to the Nigeria Navy for such a project.
He said the project would significantly improve enrolment, retention and quality education in the area.
The District Head of Mayo-Belwa, Ardo Bamanga, described the project as a good legacy that would help to shape the character of children to be responsible citizens in future.
The event featured presentations of learning materials to pupils, three plantings, cultural dances and awards presentations.
