Nigeria appears to have won the confidence of the United States of America (USA) in the fight against Boko Haram with Washington agreeing to sell no fewer than 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Abuja to aid the war against the terror sect.
Besides, the USA is dedicating more intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets to the campaign against terrorists in the region and plans to provide additional training to Nigerian infantry forces, Reuters reported quoting anonymous US officials.
