“The Nigerian Air Force is one of our key partners that plays a critical role in furthering regional security and stability,” General Jeff Harrigian, US Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa commander, was quoted as saying during the event.

The induction ceremony came some five weeks after the six Super Tucanos arrived in Nigeria on 22 July. The second batch of six aircraft is expected before the end of 2021.
