The Unveiling of Nigeria’s New Presidential Jet: Airbus A330

On August 19, 2024, the Presidency of Nigeria introduced the new Airbus A330 designated for President Bola Tinubu. The announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, who shared images of the aircraft on his verified social media account.
This acquisition replaces the aging Boeing B737-700(BBJ), which had served for 19 years since its purchase during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. While Onanuga did not disclose the cost of the new jet, he emphasised its economic benefits, noting significant savings on maintenance and fuel expenses that had previously run into millions of dollars annually.
The decision to procure the Airbus A330 stemmed from recommendations made following an investigative hearing by the Nigerian Senate, which raised concerns regarding the older aircraft’s safety and cost-effectiveness. The Senate’s security and intelligence committee advocated for a modern replacement to minimize downtime and operational costs.
According to Onanuga, the new aircraft is not only spacious but also equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, a customised interior, and advanced communication systems. President Tinubu utilised the new jet for his departure from Abuja to Paris, signing a new era in the presidential fleet that aims to enhance operational efficiency and safety for the nation’s leader.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Condemns Alleged Police Summon of Uzo-Uwani Chairman

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth wing has voiced strong condemnation regarding the reported summoning of Mr. Chijioke Ezugwu, the Uzo-Uwani local government chairman, by the Enugu State police command. This follows recent violence in Uzo-Uwani, where suspected herdsmen have allegedly killed numerous residents, prompting local security efforts.
According to reports, Mr. Ezugwu was questioned regarding alleged killings of herdsmen. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide President, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, has called the summon unacceptable, lamenting the perceived lack of police action against the alleged perpetrators of the Uzo-Uwani attacks while criticizing the swiftness in summoning the council chairman.
Mr. Okwu stated that the situation in Uzo-Uwani is underreported and severe, marked by frequent abductions and attacks. He criticized the police for allegedly failing to apprehend those responsible for violence, including the murder of an elderly couple. He further asserted that the police’s actions may be perceived as emboldening criminals. The group has urged the Enugu State Police Command to address these allegations. They warn that continued “harassment” of the council chairman could result in widespread protests by Igbo youths.
