The Nigerian Air Force has immortalized the late Flying Officer, TOLULOPE AROTILE who died on July 14 in Kaduna State.

Speaking during the newly renovated and remodeled Pilots’ Crew ‘Room’ at the 115 Special Operations Group Port Harcourt, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal SADIQUE ABUBAKAR, stated that immortalizing the deceased was in fulfillment of the Force’s promise.

ABUBAKAR said the move was in appreciation to AROTILE for her invaluable contributions to the fight against armed banditry and other criminal activities in the country.

The Chief of the Air Staff added that immortalizing AROTILE was done, not only to honour her memory but also to further inspire young girls in Nigeria to study, work hard and pursue their dreams and legitimate aspirations with pride and honour.

The Pilots Crew ‘Room’ was named after the late Flying Officer, who was also Nigeria’s first Female Combat Pilot.
