In furtherance of its commitment to community engagement and youth development, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the 115 Special Operations Group, Port Harcourt, in collaboration with the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), on 27 May 2026 commemorated the 2026 Children’s Day celebration with an inspiring event themed “Inspiring Dreams, Building Futures.” The colourful gathering brought together children, parents, community leaders, and security personnel in an atmosphere of unity, learning, and hope, while also reinforcing inter-agency collaboration in fostering safe and supportive environments for children to thrive.

The celebration featured cultural displays, quiz competitions, talent showcases, games, motivational sessions, and interactive engagements designed to encourage children to embrace education, discipline, patriotism, and hard work. Speaking during the event, representatives of the PCRC and officials of the 115 Special Operations Group underscored the importance of investing in the younger generation as a pathway to building a peaceful, secure, and prosperous society. They also expressed solidarity with children affected by insecurity across the country, reaffirming the unrelenting efforts of the Nigerian Air Force and other security agencies to protect lives, secure communities, and create safer environments where every child can live, learn, and thrive without fear.

One of the major highlights of the event was the presentation of gifts, educational materials, and recognition awards to participating children and outstanding pupils. Parents and guardians commended the initiative as a commendable platform that not only celebrated children but also strengthened civil-security relations and deepened cooperation among stakeholders committed to building a brighter future for Nigerian children. The event once again reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s unwavering dedication to inspiring young minds and supporting initiatives that promote national unity, security, and societal development.
