The Chief of Air Staff (CAS) of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar has launched a comic book in honour of late flying officer Tolulope Arotile.
The book titled ‘Girls Can Fly’ was launched on Friday at an event organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports in partnership with ‘I Choose Life Foundation.’
Speaking during the launch, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar described Arotile as a gallant officer whose heroic acts will never be forgotten.
It is worthwhile to note that the book is a Heroes Comic Series written for children between ages three-13.
The book which is meant to serve as a source of inspiration to the girl-child, also aims at encouraging young Nigerians to make choices that will benefit their nation.
The Heritage Times can recall that news of Arotile’s death in July 2020 shook the nation, leaving many Nigerians saddened by her demise at a prime age.
NAF has fulfilled its promise to immortalise Arotile by naming a Pilot’s Crew Room after her.
The launch of the comic book is another attestation of the force’s commitment to fulfilling its promise on immortalising the deceased.
