Well, I hope they're not planning on routing through Mauritania for a while or they may get stuck there. Are they going the trans-Sahara route?
I also hear from a Portuguese friend that Caverton may be getting another Dauphin from Heliportugal. As it seems they don't have anywhere near the number of pilots they need for all these extra helicopters he was speculating that it may all be at Heliportugal's encouragement so that they can send pilots out there and get in to Nigeria via the back door as it were, either by eventually setting up a joint venture with Caverton or by buying them out.
