According to him, the prompt receipt of the fighter jets would enhance the capacity of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in effectively concluding the counter-insurgency operations in the North East. Abubakar made the call at the weekend while receiving a delegation from the company who paid him a courtesy visit at NAF headquarters in Abuja. He noted, however, that the major concern of the NAF was the time frame for their delivery. The delegation, which included officials from the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) of the United States (US) Embassy in Nigeria, was led by the Senior Vice President of SNC, Mr. Taco Gilbert. The leader of the team assured the CAS of the firm’s determination to deliver quality aircraft capable of providing the needed impetus for NAF’s air operations.
