President Bola Tinubu urges the timely delivery of attack helicopters to strengthen Nigeria’s security operations and support efforts against terrorism and other threats, according to Nigerian reports. The President raises the request during a meeting with an Airbus delegation led by Thierry Cloutet, Head of Regional Business Growth for Africa and the Middle East. The meeting takes place on Thursday on the sidelines of the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, as reported by Vanguard.
The Punch reports that Tinubu specifically calls for “quick delivery” of the helicopters to enhance operational capacity for security personnel across the country. While the outlets describe the request and the context of Tinubu’s engagement with Airbus, they do not provide further details in the supplied excerpts on contract terms, delivery timelines, or the number of helicopters involved. Both sources frame the call as part of broader security and counterterrorism priorities.
