The Federal Government of Nigeria has pledged to support the humanitarian efforts of Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), an evangelical Christian organization providing critical services to remote communities worldwide.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, made the pledge when a delegation from MAF, led by Rick Emenaker, Stan Unruh, Souleymane Kouyate, and Don Campion, paid a courtesy visit to the Minister at his office in Abuja.
This was after the team briefed him on MAF’s activities and sought his guidance on key challenges, highlighting their contributions to humanitarian agencies, missionaries, and remote communities through aviation, communications, and learning technology services.
In response, Mr. Edun commended MAF for its invaluable contributions to the nation and pledged his support where possible.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the Director, Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Manga, the Minister directed the delegation to relevant authorities for further assistance, underscoring the government’s commitment to supporting humanitarian efforts.
As MAF continues to provide vital services to those in need, the Minister’s pledge of support underscores the importance of collaboration between government agencies and humanitarian organizations. By working together, they can make a more significant impact and improve the lives of millions of Nigerians.
