The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has reiterated that infrastructural development remains a major morale booster in the delivery of services by personnel.
Speaking on Thursday at the commissioning of two newly constructed blocks of 6 x 3 bedroom flats for married officers at the Sam Ethnan Air Force Base, Ikeja, Lagos, the CAS said the project was a testimony to his resolve to improve the welfare of NAF personnel.
The improvement of the welfare of the personnel, he said, was a major requirement in the development of human capacity for enhanced operational performance.

He also reminded personnel to continue to maintain personal hygiene, whilst observing physical distancing as the country continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
