United State donates $11m Armored Vehicles to Nigerian Army

This is no more news but what the Nigerians are still speculating is the aftermath of the kind gesture from the United States Government donation of Armored Vehicles worth $11 million.

These war resistant vehicles would be handed over to the military authorities at the Nigerian Army 9th Brigade Parade Ground, Ikeja Army Cantonment in Lagos.

A statement yesterday, by the Public Affairs Section of the United States Consulate General Lagos, said: “The US is pleased to donate 24 Mine-Resistant, Armor-Protected (MRAP) vehicles valued at $11m to Nigeria’s military authorities.

“The equipment donation represents part of the continuing US commitment to Nigeria and its neighbours to counter Boko Haram’s senseless acts of terror and promote regional security.”
