•To complete payment for 2 Augusta helicopters with N800m •Special Forces School set for takeoff in Buni Yadi this year •NIPSS to buy 2 Toyota cars for N72m •Immigration Services earmarks N205m for fuel, N28m for cooking gas ABUJA—The Federal Government plans to spend at least N27 billion in the 2019 budget on the acquisition of three Thunder aircraft and support equipment for its troops fighting insurgency and banditry in many parts of the country.

The government has also made generous allocations to the armed forces to enable them tackle rising wave of security challenges facing the nation, a few weeks to the general elections.

Under the arrangement, the Nigerian Army is allocated N232.4 billion, Nigerian Air Force, N117.3 billion and the Nigerian Navy, N103.6 billion for both recurrent and capital programmes for the year.

Details of the allocations are contained in the 2019 budget breakdown, which Vanguard obtained last Monday. According to the fiscal document, the federal government also intends to acquire an unmanned aerial vehicle with the sum of N666.7 million and allocate another N1 billion for the purchase of troop carriers for the military.

Also, as part of the effort to contain insurgency in the Northeast, the sum of N295 million has been set aside for the take off of a Special Forces Training School in Bunu Yadi, Yobe State, where insurgents roasted school boys in their dormitory some years ago.

Beyond the military expenditure, the budget breakdown also showed allocations to departments, agencies and agencies of government. For instance, the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, has been allocated the sum of N72 million for the purchase of two Toyota Camry cars for ‘project inspection’, each costing N36 million.

Similarly, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, plans to spend N73.5 million within the year for the purchase of ‘foodstuff and catering supplies’.

Just to inform you, people have been posting this stuff for more than 10 years. Nigeria is not going to get Apache. The US is not selling it to Nigeria. They are not even selling choppers less capable than Apache. Nigeria should not even attempt to buy Apaches. They are capable but not useful to us and very expensive to operate and maintain.
The enemy is Boko Haram. It's not an invincible enemy. A little seriousness and discipline will defeat them.
