The Federal Government has reiterated its determination to continue to procure sophisticated weapons to keep the nation’s military in good fighting shape, saying the country will take delivery of Super Tucano fighter jets in 2020.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in Abuja, said the fighter jets, expected from the United States, would be deployed in checking terrorist activities in the country.
Shehu, who lauded the efforts of the armed forces in suppressing the activities of Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in the country, described as `fantastic’ the recently launched “Super Camps’’ by the military.
According to him, the essence of this is to act proactively and respond quickly to the changing nature of terrorism.
The presidential aide noted with delight that the Buhari administration had made the country safer than it met it in 2015.
