Obiagelli:
Chief of the Air Staff, Air Vice
Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar
has applauded the management of
Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing
Company for its support to the
military by providing technical
support that has enabled the
Nigerian Air Force to sustain its
operations against the Boko Haram
insurgents.
The Air Force revealed on
Wednesday, that Innoson ‘helped
to locally modify and overhaul the
brake assembly of the MB-339
aircraft for adoption on the Alpha
Jets’ and also ‘helped for the
continued operation of the Alpha
Jets, and had helped to save the
day when help was not
forthcoming from abroad’.
This was disclosed in a statement
released by the Director of Public
Relations and Information, Group
Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa.
In the statement, Abubakar said
the contribution of Innoson
deserves national recognition and
award, due to the important role
played by the Alpha Jet in the
ongoing counter insurgency
operations in North East Nigeria.
“The collaboration between the
NAF and IVM is in line with one of
the key drivers of the CAS vision
which is strategic partnership with
ministries, departments and
agencies for enhanced research
and development.”
“Beyond the feat, the NAF is poised
to exploit the possibilities of mass
producing the Alpha Jet break
assembly and other parts locally by
partnering with IVM, as well as
other credible organisations, to
build own capacity for enhanced
self-reliance.”
“Our partnership with IVM would
not end with the Alpha jet break
assembly but a leeway to forge new
frontiers, through research and
development, to replicate some of
the spares needed by our
platforms” the CAS said.
Abubakar added that the feat has
not only saved the country huge
foreign exchange that otherwise
would have been spent abroad but
also adding value to Nigerians
through provision of job
opportunities.

What is the achievement that you won't let us hear word and are abusing people for goodness sakes ProForce (based at Ogun state)

http://www.proforcedefence.com/picgallery/index.htm

has been making Military hardware for the Nigeria Armed forces for more than a decade! Smh. You people and your inferiority complex. Must you put others down/gloat to feel good about yourself? ?

igwe123:
but they said he was only assembing, how come he produced parts of aircraft??

Flyoruboy:


Smh. You people and your Yoruba-obsession. Is the Yorubaman the source of your problem in life?? You cant receive any news in your life without displaying your bigotry. YOu people need serious help, and FAST!

CSTR2:
If your proforce was good enough ,the Nigerian army would not be scavenging the world for vehicles and parts.

meccuno:
The group of people that won't like this are 1. Boko Haram 2. The White Man 3. The Tribes Who Don't Like Anything Igbo 4. People Who Don't Want The Progress Of Nigeria............but why do we still use alpha jets? When there are f15 and f16s.....?? @ least we can start from there!! Very soon, innoson would start manufacturing air crafts

Well, using the exact same logic, if Innoson is also good enough, Obiano would not have recently chose to purchase Toyotas for the Anambra police when he could have simply bought from Innoson. Doesn't charity begin at home? I guess even Obiano doesn't have much confidence in the Innoson brand's quality.

PRXPERT:
[s][/s] has anyone noticed that those people who are against biafra are the ones championing the igbo division!!

menix:
Sure this thread won't go down well with some tribe..

They will have stomach upset this Night...

chiefobdk:




if hatred is anti progressive how come we Igbos hate you and still progress.

obailala:
The senseless hatred for other tribes is what is slowing down the progress.

Okijajuju1:



He assembles cars but makes planes.

CSTR2:
Yes, because shouting kumbaya to all and sundry would suddenly build a seaport in the east.

CSTR2:
Bleh.
The anambra state is fully invested in the innoson project as a lot of their vehicles are IVM.
Any procurement from foreign manufacturers is just a case of looking for loopholes to eat funds.
The Nigerian army on the other hand is in dire need of parts and vehicles.Given the fact that proforce or whatever has been supplying them for a while tells us everythig we need to know.
Btw, Nigerian alpha jets have been in storage for a while, many of them due to lack of basic parts. Where have your proforce been all these years ?
Especially a company that is supposed to be older than innoson.

abagoro:
Good news. Let real Igbos continue to prove the IPOB miscreants' irrelevance.

itokam:



But still...I don't understand their hatred for we Yorubas....they just seems to be obsessed with anything Yoruba!


Hatred is anti - progressive, it only keeps the hater stagnated!
