NAF’s Deputy Director, Public Relations and Information, Group Captain Kabiru Ali, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.

The airlifting of the election materials follows the earlier commitment made by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, during a recent meeting with INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, where the CAS had reiterated NAF’s readiness to provide INEC with transport aircraft to facilitate the swift movement of election materials, as has been done in the past.
