Airforce signs parts Procurement agreement with Innoson
Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Nnewi, has scored another first, as the Nigerian Air Force has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the company to manufacture spare parts for its air fleet.
With the agreement, the Airforce will be assured of adequate maintenance of its air fleet.
This was disclosed by Air Vice Marshal James Gbum, when he led a delegation of top senior officers of the Nigerian Air Force on a visit to Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia.
According to Gbum, the Airforce, with the agreement, hopes to overcome the challenge of searching for spare parts in several countries around the world, leading to the grounding of many of its aircraft.

He also informed Givernor Obiano that Innoson passed the test of assisting in manufacturing brake assemblage haulage for activation of grounded aircrafts which would in turn step up operation in the northeast against Boko Haram.
According to him, the collaboration will also encourage indigenous manufacturing.
The governor, while responding, congratulated the management of Innoson for its competence and standard. He also urged the Nigerian Air Force not to relent its efforts in the first against insurgency in the country.
