Nigerian Air Force Fulfils Promise As Governor Sule Commissions Community Clinic In Rukubi

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has fulfilled its promise to the people of Rukubi, Nasarawa State, with the commissioning of a befitting community clinic constructed as part of efforts to atone for the tragic accidental airstrike of 24 January 2023. The newly built healthcare facility was officially inaugurated by the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr Abdullahi Sule, on behalf of the NAF, during a solemn ceremony that underscored a commitment to accountability, healing, and renewed partnership.

The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, represented by AVM Ibikunle Daramola, described the clinic project in Rukubi as a meaningful act of restitution to improve local lives and enhance civil-military relations. He reaffirmed the NAF’s commitment to protecting Nigeria’s territorial integrity while remaining mindful of its responsibility to host communities.

Governor Abdullahi Sule praised the NAF for its humility and commitment to rebuilding trust, noting that while the loss of lives cannot be reversed, the clinic serves as a powerful symbol of healing, accountability, and renewed partnership with the people of Nasarawa State.

The ceremony concluded with prayers for continued peace, improved civil-military relations, and strengthened commitment to protecting civilian lives. As the clinic opens its doors to the public, it stands not only as a memorial to the past but also as a promise for a more compassionate and responsible future.
