The federal government has approved the sum of N2.29 billion for the assembling of Hungarian Magnus light aircraft at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, Kaduna State.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika disclosed this yesterday to State House correspondents after the federal executive council meeting presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa .
According to him, the renewed demand for the spin recovery aircraft necessitated the production of the light aircraft which he said was durable for the training of military and civilian pilots.
He said the first set of the assembled aircraft is expected to fly within the last four months of the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
