Rear Admiral Babalola while commending Malafa, said that her elevation would inspire other women in the armed forces since there is no limit to what they can achieve.
Jamila Malafa on her part confirmed being the first female of northern extraction to reach this rank in the navy adding that this elevation has inspired her to be more loyal and dedicated to her duties.
Commodore Jamila Malafa was born in 1965 in Gombi Local Government, Adamawa state.
She joined the Nigerian Navy in 1988 and was commissioned as a midshipman in 1990.
