US Delivers Military Equipment to Nigerian Air Force

The United States has provided military equipment to the Nigerian Air Force as part of efforts to bolster Nigeria's capacity to combat terrorism in the region. This delivery was disclosed by the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) in a post shared on X on Thursday.

The equipment was transported by a US Air Force C-17 aircraft over the weekend under a foreign military sales agreement between the US and Nigeria. AFRICOM stated that this delivery aims to further strengthen the partnership between the two nations and support Nigeria's counter-terrorism efforts.

The delivery occurs amid ongoing initiatives by the Nigerian military to address terrorism and other security threats throughout the country. The US has consistently supported Nigeria's security efforts through military cooperation, training, and the provision of defense equipment.
