The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), yesterday, 24 March 2020, airlifted medical materials donated by the Jack Ma Foundation, China, for tackling the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Nigeria, from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos to the Nnmadi Azikiwe International Airport(NAIA), Abuja in fulfilment of the NAF's roles of providing Military Aid to Civil Authority (MACA).

The donated medical materials, which consist of 107 boxes of medical supplies and equipment, comprising surgical masks, medical disposable protective clothing, face shields and detection kits, weighing about 3,000 pounds, were airlifted in a single mission using the NAF C-130 Hercules aircraft (NAF 913) and handed over by the NAF Aircrew to a delegation from the Federal Ministry of Health led by the Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Abdulazeez Mashi Abdullahi, today, 25 March 2020, at the NAIA, Abuja.

Speaking to the press after inspecting the delivered items, Alhaji Abdullahi thanked the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for the timely deployment of aircraft to airlift the items to Abuja. He also expressed appreciation to the NAF officers and men who participated in the airlift mission for their professional conduct. He said the donated items would go a long way in supporting the Government’s efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the Country
.
The NAF leadership has also expressed the readiness of the Service to provide any form of support within its statutory responsibility of providing aid to civil authority as the Nation continues to work assiduously to deal with the threat posed by COVID-19.

When a person reads through a strong filter, he sees what he wants to see. This is the Nigerian disease. There is no way that everything has been taken to Abuja.
Interstate travel is a current reality -
it makes no sense to address the virus in one locality only.

Less than 6 hours from now, we will read the true story of how they are sharing these supplies to all the most affected states first before sharing it all over the country (which make sense) rather than the impression we are having here as if 100% of everything is being hijacked to Abuja.

We will be looking forward to read thatLagos state's share was left behind.
They won't be that stupid to move EVERYTHING to just Abuja alone and leave nothing behind to the most affected state in the country!
We should all learn how to read logically.

As of now the only information we have is that the donations were taken to Abuja and we've not gotten any news as to reasons for that action which is wrong, i think the reasons why it was taken should be stated first or while it's been taken

You have a good point here,
which we respect.
We will be waiting patiently to read the full details, especially from Lagos State Government.

OTayobami:

But dey are dat stupid to have waited as long as dey did to close the airports and stop international flights.. If dey won't b as stupid as dey have always shown to b, how many test kits, facemasks and protective gears have dey ordered and shared to Nigerians so far?
