The relief supplies, donated by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, under the Renewed Hope Initiative, have been airlifted by the NAF’s C-130 Hercules aircraft from Abuja to Maiduguri.
The Director of Public Relations and Information (DOPRI), for the Headquarters of the Nigerian Air force, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, said in a release that, “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, that were devastated by the 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.
“The NAF also launched a medical outreach programme to support flood victims and provided food for over 2,000 Internally Displaced Persons 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.”
