President Bola Tinubu has welcomed the world aircraft-maker, Airbus’ proposal to establish maintenance and hangar facilities in Nigeria as part of a broader effort to position the country as a regional aerospace and aviation services hub.
The president also emphasised Nigeria’s urgent need for modern helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft capable of supporting security operations, logistics, and national development priorities, in furtherance of his administration’s effort to end the intractable security challenges in some parts of the nation.
