The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Wednesday commenced the airlift of election materials for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to Benin, Edo State, ahead of the upcoming governorship election scheduled for 21 September 2024.
NAF in a statement issued by Group Captain Kabiru Ali, Deputy Director, Public Relations and Information on Wednesday said, โThis move is part of a broader effort to ensure timely and secure delivery of sensitive materials necessary for the smooth conduct of the elections.
โThe airlift operation demonstrates the collaboration between NAF and INEC, aimed at facilitating logistics and ensuring a peaceful election process in Edo Stateโ.
