Russia will complete the supply of fighter jets to Nigeria
At the Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, a Russian official stated that the government wanted to finish supplying Nigeria with its twelve Mi-35 helicopters.
The military pact, according to Dmitry Shugaev, head of the Russian Federal Ministry of Military Technology, will aid Nigeria in thwarting terrorist threats and involving the nation in peacekeeping missions.
He stated, "The country is interested in completing the delivery of the planes, and we are continuing to work in this direction." He did not specify how many aeroplanes have been sent thus far or when the delivery of the remaining planes will be finished.
Vice President of Nigeria Kashim Shettima stated that Nigeria and Russia will work together to resurrect the aluminium processing industry.
One of the agreements anticipated to be finalised at the meeting—the second of its kind after the first was held in the city of Sochi in 2019—is the one referred to above.
Along with other African leaders, Mr. Shettima is present at the gathering.
Russia has previously committed to giving Zimbabwe and five other African nations free grain.
