Nigeria may not be able to take delivery of the 12 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft it ordered from the United States until 2024.

In April, President Muhammadu Buhari had approved $496 million for the procurement of the fighter jets to combat Boko Haram insurgency.

But the United States Department of Defence has just awarded a contract to the Sierra Nevada Corporation to manufacture the planes for the Nigerian air force (NAF).

The US department of defence said work will be performed in Jacksonville, Florida, and is expected to be completed in May 2024.

A defence news portal, defence.co.za, had reported that the contract was announced on November 28 and is worth $329m, although the total not-to-exceed amount is approved at $344.7m.

In December 2017, the air force had received letters of offer and acceptance for the Super Tucano deal.

The deal valued at $593 million, included Paveway II guided bombs, laser-guided rockets, 12.7 mm ammunition, unguided bombs and infrared sensors.

Aside the sale of the 12 fighter jets, the deal includes ground training equipment, mission planning systems, mission debrief systems, spares, ground support equipment and support services.

The sale of the aircraft had been stalled by the administration of former US President Barack Obama over allegations of human rights abuse levelled against the Nigerian military.

God bless Nigeria.

By that time there will be no single soul in North East. Boko Haram rejoices by hearing this news.

After boko haram don do their worst abi

Boko haram over to u..

After paying an embarrassing $500 million for the planes, the U.S will now only release them when the dullard cannot be President again (2024).

The U.S obviously knows it can't hand them over to the terrorist, yet the collected the dullards money.

An Atiku Presidency will obviously hasten the release of the planes, lift the arms procurement ban Nigeria is battling with under the Lifeless and end the BHT menace once and for all.

Buhari has been rejected home and abroad, the few following him to the grave should just wake up.

I think it will be supplied in batches just like the gunships we acquired from Russia.

No reasonable country wiil supply Terrorist Buhari such a military hard ware.

Just look at Nigger Africans, happy to spend 500 Million to Oyibo to chase shadows, then after fighting supposedly Boko Haram, there still will be no constant supply of power/light, no good hospitals, no good schools, ASHAWO YORUBA, CALABAR, IGBO, and other “Southern” girls the more, and frankly, the same Nigger Area.


You people should be embarrassed yet you are Atikulating and SAI BABA-ing like animals
