Onanuga said the airbus A330 will save Nigeria “huge maintenance and fuel costs, running into millions of dollars yearly” in servicing the old aircraft.
In June, the house of representatives committee on national security and intelligence asked the federal government to purchase new aircraft for Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima.
