Nigeria’s Defence Industries Corporation says it is projecting a turnout of about 6 million rounds of ammunition, as well as other military equipment that will help to shape the battle environment for the Nigerian Armed Forces in 2021.
The Director-General, Major General Victor Ezugwu, dropped the hint during a three-day retreat for top management of the corporation, in Kaduna.
With the changing space in global warfare, and the need for higher creativity in the production of military equipment for the Nigerian Armed Forces, this retreat for top management is to reposition the defence corporation, to meet the Presidential Executive Order, through innovation and local content application, to enhance arms production, for the Nigerian Armed Forces.
The speakers said, given the nature of Nigeria’s security situation, addressing the challenges can effectively be achieved, through strategic planning and technological innovations.
With support from the Federal Government as well as the military high command, Major General Victor Ezugwu is convinced that the Defence corporation will play its role, in bringing to an end, the fight against insurgency in the country.
