FEC approves N2bn for local aircraft assembly in Zaria | TheCable

The council gave the approval on Wednesday at a meeting presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

“We had two memoranda in council. The first one is the procurement and assemblage of Magnus Centennial aircraft and stimulator in Zaria,” Sirika said. The minister, who said many pilots were trained on the skill, added that the need for spin and spin recovery eventually petered out as aircrafts became more technologically advanced and sophisticated.

“So, this airplane is fully aerobotic, goes into aerobatics. And I think the Nigerian air force and the air force around the region will be interested and excited by this development, we are taking the lead in civil aviation. It is our intention to produce them here, assemble them here, [possibly] in the future, sell them out to where we’re interested around the world.

“And of course, the time it took and cost of items have increased tremendously. That’s why we’re back in council, revising it with an additional N546,109,336.33 with 7.5 percent VAT, and an additional completion period for nine months for this airport,” he said.

Few months to leave, you are still approving money?

All the assemblies in Kaduna, why not shift to Aba, Abia State?

They keep approving money a few weeks to election Those seeking re election should have stepped down from position Why can't there be caretaker committee , don't know the type of govt Nigeria is practicing now

Una work well sha. God bless you all. Start packing abegi

Great move
