President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived in Kaduna State to inaugurate a surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), produced locally by the Nigerian Air Force.
The President was received on Thursday in Kaduna by the state governor, Mr Nasir El-Rufai, in company with some top government officials.
He then proceeded to the Nigerian Air Force Base in Mando, where the inauguration ceremony is expected to take place.
The induction of the drone, code-named TSAIGUMI, is part of the Federal Government’s effort to tackle insecurity in the country, especially the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East.
According to the military, the drone is the first locally made in Nigeria and will help to improve the fight against terrorism and other sophisticated crimes through enhanced air surveillance.
