Presidency confirms new presidential jet

Tinubu's announcement of the new appointees came amidst controversies over the purchase of a new presidential jet by the current government, a decision widely criticised by many Nigerians given the country's ongoing economic challenges.

The presidency released photos and details of the new presidential jet on Monday, August 19, noting that it replaces the Boeing B737-700(BBJ) acquired by former President Olusegun Obasanjo 19 years ago.

In a tweet, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president, stated that the presidential jet was bought at a price lower than the market value, saving Nigeria millions of dollars in maintenance and fuel costs annually.
