The newly constructed Primary Healthcare Centre, powered entirely by solar energy, now stands as a lifeline for residents of Mullah-Hyema Community in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The facility was executed under the Nigerian Navy’s Civil–Military Cooperation initiative and delivered as a Quick Impact Project of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla.
Commissioning the project, Rear Admiral Kohat Levi, who executed the intervention in honour of his service, described the health centre as a deliberate response to the healthcare challenges faced by rural communities.
“This project is intended to bridge the gap in access to basic healthcare, especially for people in rural areas. It is a stop-gap intervention to address the long-standing difficulties faced by this community in accessing quality medical services.”
The health centre is equipped with a maternity and general ward, consultation room, pharmacy and laboratory. It is powered by a 6.5-horsepower solar inverter and supported by a solar-powered borehole, ensuring uninterrupted healthcare service delivery.
Rear Admiral Levi noted that beyond healthcare, the project symbolises a growing partnership between the Nigerian Navy and host communities, stressing that development-focused interventions contribute to peace and stability.
“Projects like this strengthen trust between the military and the people. When communities are supported, stability is enhanced. We urge the beneficiaries to take ownership and protect this facility.”
Representing the Chief of the Naval Staff, the Navy’s representative Admiral Adamu Yahya explained that the Quick Impact Projects are designed to deepen civil–military relations while complementing the Federal Government’s development agenda.
“These projects demonstrate that the Armed Forces are not only committed to securing lives and property, but also to improving the quality of life of Nigerians, especially in underserved communities.”
The Adamawa State Government, through its representative, assured the Nigerian Navy of continued collaboration, noting that development-driven security initiatives remain critical to sustaining peace across the state.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Hong Local Government Area described the project as timely, saying it would significantly improve healthcare delivery while strengthening trust between the military and the people.
Traditional rulers and community members also expressed appreciation to the Nigerian Navy, pledging to protect and maintain the facility for the benefit of future generations.
The commissioning of the solar-powered health centre highlights the Nigerian Navy’s evolving role in combining security operations with humanitarian and development initiatives in conflict-affected and underserved communities.
