The United States Army Corps of Engineers has provided $36.1 million in infrastructure support to Nigeria’s A-29 Super Tucano Kainji Air base.
A statement released by the US Embassy on Tuesday said the support was announced during an official induction ceremony of the A-29 Super Tucano into the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).
The support includes covered magazines and aircraft sunshades, a new airfield hot cargo pad, perimeter and security fencing, airfield lights, and various airfield apron, parking, hangar, and entry control point enhancements.
Other package includes a flight annex wing building for simulator training as well as munitions assembly and storage and small arms storage. The U.S. also stationed a project engineer at Kainji to provide ongoing maintenance and assistance.
