Abuja (AFP) Sep 28, 2005
The Nigerian government on Wednesday approved the procurement of 12 F7NI multi-role combat aircraft and three FT7NI trainer aircraft and associated equipment from China, officials said.

The contract was awarded to China Aero Technology Import and Export Corporation at a negotiated price of 251,377,395 dollars, information minister Frank Nweke told reporters.

"This is a very clear demonstration of government commitment to ensuring that our armed forces are combat-ready at all times...and that they have the capacity and wherewithal to protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria," Nweke said.

He did not give further details.
