Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar, announced the planned increase on Friday during a visit by the Governor of Kaduna State, Mr Nasir El-Rufai.

Air Marshal Abubakar said the Air Force had acquired 10 helicopters and was awaiting 10 other training aircraft in a bid to enhance its operations to adequately support both the internal and external security challenges confronting the nation, in line with globally accepted standards.

Beyond the partnership, the Chief of Air Staff announced ongoing reforms in the Air Force aimed at further contributing to fighting Nigeria’s internal and external security challenges.

At the meeting, Governor El-Rufai expressed his gratitude to the Air Force for its contribution to tackling security challenges in the North-West especially in Kaduna State.

The agreement at the meeting was that Nigeria was better off when the civilian authority and the military worked together for the common good.

Or even salvaged 1930 helicopters

Don't let your illiteracy guide your comments. Simply keep shut if you're un-aware of the process it takes to purchase aircrafts.


Here are the helicopters, and they were ordered by the NNPC under the GEJ administration. It takes at-least 2years to deliver brand new helicopters.


10 units of EC-135 and Dolphin helicopters were ordered in all.

We expect them to tell us the model ,year, type, capacity and all other critical parameters of the helicopters ..

Good

Nice, but are those pot bellies in that picture?

Congrat

Something better and advanced this time i guess. Like Osprey, Blawkhawk, Commanche.

Nigeria, a country that has no hostile neighbours, but spends much of its earnings to acquire military hardware and train its soldiers in a particular purpose for killing its citizens.

All because a particular clique in the country wouldn't mind killing off groups who dissent against a political structure and dysfunctional governance system that have ended up not leaving the citizens with one MW of electricity, brought hunger and near starvation to the masses, no running water, no land telephone, no good roads, etc.

Only because a section of Nigeria wants the political status quo to remain, because it used its military dictators to restructure the country politically such that the section draws undue large political representation from the undue large number of states and hundreds of local government areas its soldiers created for it, and which makes the section's political class take a huge share of shared revenues.

LOL.....BUT WHO DID HELICOTPER EPP IN NIGERIA!!!! MISPLACED PRIORITIES!!!!! NIGERIA SHOULD BE SPLIT UP IN AT LEAST 3 PLACES!!!!

RichYoungNigger:
Goodluck Jonathan is Corrupt

He stole Billions of dollars from the Nigerian government

He left no money for the incoming government.

Since Buhari came into power, things have been rough, the economy is dead.

But he keeps flying around the world, buying helicopters, paying states, spending money anyhow.

Where the fucck did he get all that money from ?? I guess Goodluck Jonathan return all the money he stole

u have not made much sense here, is Nigeria's income tied to gej? Has Nigeria not made a dime since his exit? We need critical thinking in this country and not a pepper soup joint thinking
