The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Hassan Abubakar, has called on project officers in the service to effectively manage all NAF’s sites and projects to avoid wastage and failure.
Abubakar warned that failed construction projects could have far-reaching consequences on the service in terms of wasted resources and compromised operational readiness.
Abubakar spoke during a one-day Workshop on Site and Project Management for Project Officers in Abuja on Thursday.
Represented by Chief of Communication and Information System, Air Vice Marshall Ibikunkle Daramola, the CAS urged officers to approach every NAF project with the utmost dedication, professionalism, and diligence, to deliver quality infrastructure within budget and time.
Abubakar said, “Our commitment to enhancing our operational capabilities through infrastructure development is crucial, and your role in managing these projects is pivotal to our success. As you know, a pressing concern is the issue of failing construction projects and the imperative to ensure we receive value for money from all our endeavors.
“We must approach every project with the utmost dedication, professionalism, and diligence, ensuring that we deliver quality infrastructure within budget and on time. Failing construction projects can have far-reaching consequences, not only in terms of wasted resources but also in terms of compromised operational readiness and the public’s perception of our Service.
“As project officers, you are the driving force behind these initiatives, and your expertise and leadership play a pivotal role in determining their success. Remember, each successful project contributes to the overall readiness and capabilities of the Nigerian Air Force. ”
Earlier, NAF’s Project Implementation Coordinator, Air Vice Marshall Babatunde Philips, said the ability to manage projects efficiently and effectively was of paramount importance in a dynamic and ever-evolving environment with limited resources.
He said the workshop would offer ample opportunity to brainstorm and interact on the state of affairs of Nigerian Air Force projects and review their conduct while also planning procedures and standardization in the execution of their projects.
