The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Wednesday, 8 July 2026, commissioned and handedover constructed three blocks of six fully furnished classrooms at Central Pilot Primary School, Langtang, in Langtang North to the Plateau State Governmen.
The project, executed under the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke’s Special Intervention Projects initiative and coordinated by Air Vice Marshal NK Kumzhi (Retired), also included the provision of desks and chairs to provide a conducive teaching and learning environment for pupils. Representing the CAS at the ceremony, the Chief of Civil-Military Relations, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, stated that the intervention reflects the NAF’s commitment to promoting education, community development and national security through effective civil-military cooperation.
The CAS further emphasised that sustainable security thrives where communities and security agencies work in partnership, urging residents to continue supporting security agencies with timely and credible information.
In his remarks, Air Vice Marshal NK Kumzhi (Retired) described the project as a fulfilment of his desire to give back to the school that laid the foundation for his educational journey, noting that investing in education remains one of the most enduring contributions to societal development and the empowerment of future generations.
The Plateau State Government, represented by the Chairman of the Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Hon. Sunday Samuel Amuna, commended the Nigerian Air Force for the intervention, noting that the new facilities would significantly improve access to quality education and enhance learning outcomes for children in the community. The NAF reaffirmed its commitment to implementing similar people-centred projects across the country as part of its broader efforts to support education, foster sustainable community development and strengthen its enduring relationship with host communities.
