Jonathan Bought Faulty Fighter Jets For Boko Haram War – NAF by elixirnigeria: 1:04pm On Jan 27, 2016
Two of the four Alpha Jets bought from the United States in 2015 by the immediate past administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to enhance the operational capability of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to combat Boko Haram insurgency in the North East “could not be deployed to the theatre of operation before now due to the inherent weapon delivery deficiency hence its limited use for training purposes,” NAF said yesterday.
NAF Director of Public Relations & Information, Group Captain AK Famuyiwa, said yesterday in a statement that NAF in its bid for increased self-reliance, has successfully reconfigured the two “demilitarised Alpha Jets in its inventory that were hitherto acquired without weapon delivery capability.”
According to him, “The urgent need, in recent times, to commit more NAF platforms to OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE to enhance the success of the counter insurgency operation necessitated the Service to look inward to seek ways of achieving its drive for self reliance through research and development.”
Continuing, Famuyiwa said in the statement issued in Abuja: “The NAF had earlier looked overseas for assistance without much success to get the aircraft reconfigured for combat roles. A number of vendors invited to Nigeria to assess the platforms had concluded that it would be difficult or almost impossible to undertake the project since the Original Equipment Manufacturer had long closed down the production line. A few others who agreed to the possibility of having the aircraft reconfigured to carry munitions also submitted proposals for initial assessment fees ranging from $20,000 – $30,000 before they could come up with the actual cost of the project. Convinced that the project would work, the NAF consequently assembled a team of technicians to develop a feasible model for the project. The model worked on ground, and has since been mounted on the Alpha Jets, and test flown successfully. This feat is a major research and development breakthrough for the NAF and the Nation as a huge foreign exchange saver given that the project only cost about N400,000.00 compared to what would be required to have it done abroad.”

Nigerian journalists are clueless. How can joy boy it Alpha jets from the US when they're it US made?

How can the Alpha jets be "de-militarized" when they were anufactured as trainers?

Bunch of propagandizing zombies.

Thought Nigerians were told that nothing was bought by the past administration to fight BH all through the Season 1 of this movie and In Season 2, Nigerians are now been told that faulty warplanes were bought to fight BH!

Who are the director's and producers of these contradictory Seasonal tales by moonlight ........?

Why Jonathan? Thought the NAF has a Chief of Air Staff, and also do have a Procurement Officer, both normally request for and do carry out procurement for NAF, why blame Jonathan for the manipulative thievery of the NAF?

U denied receiving a car from me initially for the transport business for the first story and now the car u denied receiving from me no come reach Berger which is the content of your second story, my guy make up your mind on the exact story wey u wan tell me.

U can't earn my trust if na so so lies and inconsistencies full ur mouth.
