Nigeria's GDP was close to $600 billion but forex scarcity caused the naira to fall from N165/$ to N520/$ and as forex becomes more available we now see the naira rising to N360/$. Our reserve keeps growing and soon a new exchange rate would be announced.

IMF killed Egyptian currency and inflation is still over 30%. Egyptians economy is seriously in trouble and GDP is currently about $200+ billion. How will the economy triple in just 2 - 4 years?

I hope thats the correct image though.

Paramount Advanced Technologies’ (PAT’s) Mwewe unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been used to get type approval for Cobham’s Aviator UAV200 satellite communications terminal.

Cobham SATCOM has been working on the development of a very small, low weight Inmarsat Swift Broadband terminal specifically targeting small tactical UAVs. The intention was to allow airframes with a long endurance to optimise their use in Beyond Line of Sight mode (BLOS), using a lightweight Satcom terminal (weighing only 25% of previous generation units) with communication via the Inmarsat satellite network and base-station. As a result, Cobham claims the Aviator UAV200 is the world’s smallest, lightest Inmarsat UAV satcom solution at 1.45 kg.

PAT’s involvement was to integrate the Aviator UAV200 terminal into Mwewe. Provision was also made to send commands via the Satcom network to Mwewe (such as to update the flight-plan, switching of lights, etc.).

“The project was successfully completed in parallel with other UAV projects, showcasing the commitment of the PAT workforce to be part of exploring new technology to expand on our product offering to both existing as well as potential UAV clients in the future,” PAT said.

Cobham SATCOM has now obtained type approval by Inmarsat and is taking on orders for this product.

Hot News: Nigeria has just approved another 1 billion dollars for weapons acquisitions.

The cash is at hand and to be withdrawn immediately as approved by the NEC from the ECA which has over 2 billion dollars in the throve. The NDF stands at over 7 billion NGN. The NRF stands at over 100 billion NGN. The foreign reserve stands at about 40 billion dollars. This purchase is only to be drawn from the ECA.

Where are those questioning our alternative source of funding for matters of National Security. This is not budget spending. When the Giant decides to rise just hide.


Expect the soon arrival of penciled down hard assets for the Navy, Air Force and the Army.

You want to start a war?
And besides, I don't think any non Nigerian can really comment on Nigeria's defence budget. This thread looks forward to pics and bids of whatever new stuff is purchased.

My confidence this time is that the present federal administration is fiscally responsible and objective. Disbursement from the top may be clear but the effect should put an eye on things down the line. We should still do our civic duty at least through the National Assembly even if somethings will remain be classified.

The truth is the country works in a way we can't predict. I just hope we get something valuable with the funds.
