A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) C-130 aircraft and its crew have arrived at the Air Force Base in Accra, Ghana, en route to Portugal for a scheduled flight maintenance mission.
The aircraft departed Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso earlier on Friday and is expected to proceed to Portugal on Saturday, according to official sources.
On arrival in Accra, the NAF crew and aircraft were warmly received by officials of the Ghana Air Force, alongside representatives of the Nigerian Embassy in Ghana.
A defence source told Zagazola Makama, a security analyst that the reception underscored the cordial military-to-military cooperation and longstanding diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Ghana.
“We in Nigeria deeply appreciate the Ghanaian government and diplomatic officials for the warm reception and the support extended to the Nigerian Air Force crew,” the source said.
The stopover further highlights the strong defence and diplomatic collaboration between both West African nations.
