President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's recent trip to France aboard a new Airbus A330 has sparked controversy, particularly against the backdrop of ongoing legal disputes over Nigerian aircraft. The newly acquired jet replaces the 19-year-old Boeing 737-700 used for presidential travel. This development follows a court order obtained by Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Limited, a Chinese firm, which has seized two Nigerian jets and other properties due to an alleged breach of a 2016 business deal. Despite the release of one aircraft, the firm retains the others and additional assets under a British court order. The upgrade of the presidential jet, which cost Nigeria over $100 million and was facilitated by L & L International LLC, raises questions about its necessity and the timing of such a purchase amidst economic challenges. We'll be joined by Olumide Ohunayo from the Aviation Safety Round Table Initiative to discuss the implications of this international incident on Nigeria's foreign relations and the aviation industry. Could this be a savvy deal or a questionable expenditure? Tune in to hear the full analysis.
