Report don show say one American company wey dey handle the sale of Nigeria presidential Boeing 737-700 Business Jet don quietly comot the aircraft from their website.
People wey check the firm website before see say the jet dey there normally, but when dem visit again, the plane no show anywhere. Na for email the company confirm say dem no dey market the aircraft again, and anybody wey wan know wetin sup must go meet Nigerian government directly.
Laurie Barringer, wey be Manager of Market Research for JetHQ, na him reply the inquiry. She talk say the company don waka comot for the matter and no go fit drop any more info. According to her, “We no get the listing again. If you wan know wetin happen to the aircraft, you fit reach out to the Nigerian Government.”
People also reach out to person wey dey work with the National Security Adviser to get update, but up till now, no official response don come out.
This whole thing happen after earlier reports for October 2025 talk say the plane still never sell even after Nigerian government list am for sale since July 2025. That time, JetHQ staff still bin confirm say the jet dey available, but dem no gree release details because dem claim say na private info wey only the real owner of the aircraft suppose get.
Before dem remove the listing, record show say the jet do some maintenance and small upgrade for AMAC facility for Basel around July 2024. Work wey dem do include first-class seat refurbishment, replacing of cabin carpet and C1–C2 inspections.
People wey sabi aircraft matter yarn say used Boeing 737 BBJ fit sell around $56 million, depending on wetin dem change inside and how well dem maintain am. Nigeria originally buy this same aircraft around 2005 when President Olusegun Obasanjo dey office. Since then, the jet don dey inside Presidential Air Fleet as part of government transport arrangement.
By July 2025, the current administration come announce say dem wan sell the jet to reduce cost and reorganise the presidential fleet. Many Nigerians don dey ask questions about government spending, so the plan make sense to plenty people. But now wey the listing don disappear from the American firm website, anybody wey still dey interested must go through Nigerian government to know if the plane still dey the market or dem don change plan.
As e be, Nigerians dey wait to hear the next update about wetin dem wan use the jet do, or whether dem don quietly decide to keep am.
