Reports says the Presidential Air-fleet which
currently has about ten planes may soon get
extra one as the presidency is planning to
purchase an additional aircraft in 2014.
The proposal for the new aircraft has been
included in the proposed 2014 appropriation
bill submitted to the national assembly.
The budget proposal which was laid before the
two chambers of the National Assembly last
week by the Minister of Finance, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala on behalf of President Goodluck
Jonathan has shown that 1.5 billion naira
was proposed as deposit for the purchase of
the new aircraft.
The proposal was included in the budget of
the presidential air fleet under the office of the
National Security Adviser, NSA.
The presidential fleet also proposed about 747
million naira to cater for aircraft fuel cost
during the year.
If the aircraft is purchased, it would be the
11th in the luxurious presidential fleet.
