Nigeria to begin manufacturing of Magnus Aircrafts

 


The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the sum of N2.3 billion for the commencement of local assembly of Magnus Aircraft at Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, Kaduna State.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, disclosed this after the FEC meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


Mr Sirika expressed optimism that the Nigerian aviation industry would soon progress into local manufacturing of aircraft.
Nigeria will assemble the Sentinel variant locally, while Magnus will supply dozens of its aerobatic Fusion UL training aircraft.
In May last year, Magnus signed an agreement with Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) for the assembly and sale of its Fusion UL model. DG NCAT Captian Alkali Modigbo, Senator Hadi Sirika, Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, and László Boros CEO of Magnus Aircraft Zrt were present during the signing.


These acquisitions is funded under the 2023 Budget proposal submitted by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to the National Assembly.
Kenya is looking to equip their air force and border guard with the Magnus Fusion aircraft, against poachers and thieves or even to monitor livestock in their national parks.
