Buhari Thanks Jordan Govt. For Donating 200 Armoured To Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari expressed appreciation to the government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for its support for Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and insurgency through the donation of military hardware and pledge to provide helicopters.

A statement signed by Mr. Femi Adesina, the President’s spokesperson, said President Buhari expressed his appreciation on Tuesday in New York during a bilateral meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, shortly after his address to the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The statement quoted the President as saying that said the donation of about 200 Armoured Fighting Vehicles “reflects true concern for Nigeria's security situation and genuine goodwill towards a friendly nation.”

President Buhari also reassured King Abdullah II of Nigeria's commitment towards the proposed Aqaba Process with countries in the Middle East and Nigeria's willingness to play a leading role in bringing West African into the collective security arrangement.
