The Nigerian Air Force has commenced the transportation of election materials for the Independent National Electoral Commission to Benin City, ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.
This is contained in a statement by the Deputy Director Public Relations and Information, NAF, Group Capt. Kabiru Ali, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Ali said the move was part of a broader effort to ensure timely and secured delivery of sensitive materials necessary for the smooth conduct of the elections.
