To mark the occasion of Eid dul Adha, a delegation of Muslim personnel and families from 6 Garrison paid a courtesy call on the Base Commander of Air Force Base Tamale, Air Commodore Nana Adu-Gyamfi, at his official residence on Wednesday, 27 May 2026.

Air Commodore Adu-Gyamfi, who also serves as the 6 Garrison Commander, warmly received the delegation, extending his well-wishes for the festive period. During the reception, the Base Commander commended the personnel for their commitment to fostering military cohesion and mutual respect. He praised their long-standing tradition of visiting Command during religious celebrations to offer prayers, noting that such gestures strengthen the morale and camaraderie of the Garrison.

Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Warrant Officer Class II Seidu Masahudu   expressed sincere gratitude to the Base Commander for his hospitality. He commended Air Commodore Adu-Gyamfi’s leadership, specifically highlighting the operational progress achieved across the Base since his assumption of office.

Following a brief reflection on the spiritual significance of the day, the delegation led a session of solemn prayers, invoking blessings of wisdom, protection and success upon the Garrison Commander, personnel and the wider operations of the Garrison.

Eid dul Adha stands as one of the two most significant observances on the Islamic calendar. Deeply rooted in scriptural history, the festival honours the profound trial of faith, devotion and obedience exemplified by the Prophet Ibrahim.
