The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commenced the airlifting of the election materials for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to Benin, Edo State.
The move, according to NAF Deputy Director of Public Relations and Information Group, Captain Kabiru Ali, is part of a broader effort to ensure timely and secure delivery of sensitive materials necessary for the smooth conduct of the elections.
The airlifting operation demonstrates the collaboration between NAF and INEC, aimed at facilitating logistics and ensuring a peaceful election process in Edo State.
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, had during a recent visit to the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, reiterated NAF’s commitment to providing airlift for the swift movement of electoral materials. This is in fulfilment of NAF’s constitutional responsibility of providing military aid to civil authority.
