INEC, NAF to partner on airlift of by-election materials

To ease the movement of election materials for Saturday’s rerun and by-elections in some difficult terrain, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has agreed to airlift them for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Chief of Air Staff, Hassan Abubakar, committed while receiving the INEC Chairperson, Mahmood Yakubu, during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Monday.

Mr Yakubu had requested the assistance of the Air Force to deliver materials to three locations in the North-east, South-east and South-west geo-political zones of the country.
