NAF airlifts relief materials donated by Remi Tinubu to Borno flood victims

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully completed the airlift of relief materials donated by First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, to victims of the recent flood disaster in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The relief items, part of the First Lady’s Renewed Hope Agenda, were transported from Abuja to Maiduguri on Wednesday by NAF’s C-130 aircraft.

NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, confirmed the delivery in a statement on Thursday, highlighting NAF’s continued commitment to providing aid to civil authorities. The relief package included food items, clothing, sanitary essentials, and toys for children, all intended to offer relief to communities affected by the devastating floods that occurred on September 10.

According to the NAF’s spokesman, the relief materials were received in Maiduguri by 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.”

Akinboyewa said: “This mission highlights the NAF’s dedication to providing timely humanitarian assistance, particularly in regions severely impacted by natural disasters.”

The Nation recalled that the NaF had earlier launched a medical outreach programme to support flood victims and provided food for over 2,000 Internally Displaced Persons during the crisis.

The spokesman said that 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.”
