US donates 24 mine resistant vehicles worth $11m to Nigerian army

The United States will today donate 24 mine resistant armor military vehicles to the Nigerian army as part of its promises to aid Nigeria in it's fight against the dreaded terrorist group- Boko Haram.

The vehicles worth $11m will be given to military officials at the Nigerian Army 9th Brigade Parade ground,Ikeja. A statement yesterday, by the Public Affairs Section of the US Consulate General Lagos, said:


“The US is pleased to donate 24 Mine-Resistant, Armor-Protected (MRAP) vehicles valued at $11m to Nigeria’s military authorities. “The equipment donation represents part of the continuing US commitment to Nigeria and its neighbours to counter Boko Haram’s senseless acts of terror and promote regional security.”

    Thanks to the US.I can't help but wonder why they blatantly refused to give us military aid during the previous administration,even when we needed to buy sophisticated weapons to replace the one that were obsolete. Now U.S has picked a special interest in our security and socio economic affairs. There is more to it.
