'This is not the first time that Nigeria has assisted Niger Republic, Cameroon or Chad,' the minister said.

The Nigerian government on Wednesday confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari approved the purchase and donation of vehicles, worth N1.4 billion, to neighbouring Niger Republic., told journalists after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting that the donation was to help Niger address its security concerns.

“Let me just say that over time, Nigeria has had to support its neighbours, especially the immediate neighbours, to enhance their capacity to secure their countries as it relates to us,” she said while answering questions.“The president makes an assessment as to what is required based on the request of their presidents. Such requests are approved and interventions are provided.

“It is to enhance their capacity to protect their countries, as it relates to security and also to Nigeria.”“Nigerians have the right to ask questions, but also the president has the responsibility to make an assessment of what is in the best interest of the country and I cannot question the decision myself.

“I have said that this is not the first time and that Nigeria as a country has provided an intervention to our neighbours. It is in the best interest of Nigeria to do so.”

Shame on you, ASUU is on strike, salaries are not paid and you are spending such huge amount to buy cars for another country. God will punish all of u and your generations

Mumu talk

Crazy people

She should have even shut that mouth and not say anything. A 'no comment' response is better than the trash that came out of her mouth. A country with an overwhelming budget deficit claiming to be a big brother. She just admitted that Nigeria is broke in a recent interview.

Good work buhari you try

Useless woman

I am not sure Niger has been of Nigeria both in terms of her economy and security. I don't see reasons why Nigeria should invest any dine in Niger at this critical moment!

Terrible.

And Some citizens of Nigeria will come here and say they want to vote for APC again

Mad people everywhere

Madness When your people are suffering you are busy doing bonanza for other countries.......

Una try. This happened since February and if questions hadn't been asked nobody would have known about this. MBuhari once said he has relatives in Niger Republic. I guess the vehicles are for them. I don't when they started using SUVs to secure territories. ZShamsuna

That's foolishness why ASUU still on strike. Same Buhari donated $1m to Afghanistan couple of months ago to combat insurgency or something of that nature. Like seriously, this man lack reasoning and understand is becoming increasingly difficult to understand. How could he?

But neighbour's no dey help us... This country sha

Shme no dey catch una. Like how the h£©k did we get here 😩

Clapp for yourself

Is that wat we need?

It's a pity for the poor citizens of Nigeria

This govt won’t make even I swear, even to patronise inno son vehicles sef, they cannot

This odd is called quarrapson in inglis.

What could this reason be....I think I am loosing Faith in this country...

This govt has really not told Nigerians how and in what way we may have offended them to face this wickedness from them.

Still, Nigeria is taking loan

ASSU is still on Strick.

How can we at this trying times in Nigeria buy vehicles worth such an amount to donate while Nigerian Schools are closed ,killings every where ,Dollar on the increase why why why...... premiumtimesng we are finished as a country and yet we claim to be broke

You guys are a shame to Nigerians. So if David didn't expose this, we wouldn't know? Brown envelope media.

At this juncture, you will be a mad person defending and campaigning for APC and Thiefnubu
