Nigeria is set to acquire more weapons, including fighter jets, helicopters, from Russia to enhance the nation’s ongoing fight against insurgency, banditry and violence crimes.
Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, disclosed this yesterday in Abuja while fielding questions from State House correspondents.
Shehu said Buhari would hold security talks with President Vladimir Putin at the sideline of the Russia-Nigeria Summit, fixed for between October 23 and 25, 2019.
