Officers and men of the Nigerian Air Force have contributed the sum of N7million towards the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)

towards the IDPs and for taking concrete step to put smiles on their faces.

She promised that the Association would be fair and transparent in handling the donations, even as she stated that the items would be
transported immediately to Maiduguri to enable the association commence immediate distribution in Bama IDP Camp.
