The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has continued to demonstrate its commitment to providing Aid to Civil Authority when it successfully completed the airlift of relief materials donated by Nigeria’s first lady, Oluremi Tinubu to Borno State flood victims.
Olusola F Akinboyewa, Air Commodore, Director Public Relations and Information, in a press statement on Thursday, noted that NAF had on Wednesday October 16 completed an airlift mission to deliver essential relief materials to flood victims in Borno State.
“The relief supplies, donated by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, under the Renewed Hope Initiative, were airlifted by the NAF’s C-130 Hercules aircraft from Abuja to Maiduguri.
“The supplies comprised food items, clothing, sanitary essentials as well as toys for children. These critical resources will provide much-needed succour to affected communities in Maiduguri who were devastated by the 10 September flood disaster.
“The relief materials were received by senior NAF officers, led by the Air Component Commander, Operation HADIN KAI, before being handed over to the Borno State Government for distribution to flood victims.
“This mission highlights the NAF’s dedication to providing timely humanitarian assistance, particularly in regions severely impacted by natural disasters.” He added.
It would be recalled that in addition to ongoing airlift missions, the NAF also launched a medical outreach programme to support flood victims and provided food for over 2,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) during the crisis.
The collaboration between the First Lady’s office and the NAF demonstrates the significance of collective effort to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the flood in Borno State.
