The House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence has asked the Federal Government to purchase new aircraft for President BOLA TINUBU and Vice-President KASHIM SHETTIMA.

The committee’s recommendation is contained in a report released after its investigation into the status of the aircraft in the presidential air fleet.

The committee said it is of the strong and informed opinion that, considering the dire consequences of any foreseen or unforeseen mishap that may arise as a result of the technical or operational inadequacy of the presidential air fleet, it is in the best interest of the country to procure two additional aircraft as recommended.
