The vehicles, which are valued at $11m, would be
handed over to the military authorities at the Nigerian Army 9th Brigade Parade
Ground, Ikeja Army Cantonment in Lagos.
A statement yesterday, by the Public Affairs
Section of the United States Consulate General Lagos, said: “The US is pleased
to donate 24 Mine-Resistant, Armor-Protected (MRAP) vehicles valued at $11m to
Nigeria’s military authorities.
“The equipment donation represents part of the continuing
US commitment to Nigeria and its neighbours to counter Boko Haram’s senseless
acts of terror and promote regional security.”
