\u201cOn our part, we will continue to support you in any way we can to help you become more effective in the execution of your mandate for the safety and security of our country\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Buhari noted that his administration has boosted the capacity of the Nigerian Air Force by 23 brand new aircraft in recent times with more still on the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese 23 new aircraft are aside from the 15 additional aircraft, including 12 Super Tucano aircraft from the United States of America and 3 JF-17 Thunder Multi-Role Fighter aircraft from Pakistan that have been procured and will soon be delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n
