Contrary to an earlier report that president Buhari ordered the sale of 9 presidential jets to cut costs, the Senior Special assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, denied knowledge of such directive. He told Premuim Times..

“The story of the order for the sale of aircrafts in the Presidential Fleet, about which so much interest is being expressed, is not known to us,” Mr. Shehu said.

Mr. Shehu added that, if anything like that was being contemplated, the Presidency would issue a statement through its official channels to announce it. Part of the jets in the presidential fleet and strictly for the President's use includes Boeing 737, two Gulfstream 550 jets, Gulfstream V jet, two Falcon 7X planes, the Hawker Siddeley aircraft, and Augusta Westland chopper.
