		</div><p>The US sale of high-tech attack aircraft to Nigeria for its campaign against Boko Haram Islamic extremists will move forward despite concerns over abuses committed by the African nation&#8217;s security forces, American officials said.</p>
<p>US congress is expected to receive formal notification of the move within weeks.</p>
<p>This will set in motion a deal with Nigeria which Barack Obama&#8217;s administration had planned to approve at the end of his presidency.</p>
<p>Under the arrangement, Nigeria will purchase up to 12 Embraer A-29 Super Tucano aircraft with sophisticated targeting gear for nearly US$600m.</p>
<p>Nigeria has been trying to buy the A-29s since 2015.</p>
<p>The aircraft are assembled in Jacksonville, Florida.</p>
