Nigeria is ramping up its production of military hardware, with a focus on armoured vehicles and anti-drone systems, as the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON-D7G) partners with Eagles International for Defence Systems. The collaboration aims to boost technology transfer, create employment opportunities for over 200 workers and 100 retired military personnel, and reduce dependence on imported military equipment.
The initiative targets the production of various platforms, including the Armoured Multi-Purpose Vehicle BR6, Armoured Personnel Carrier cabin, and the MRAP-Buffalo U.10 and M.12 armoured vehicles, among others. This move not only strengthens Nigeria's defense capabilities but also positions the country to potentially supply military equipment to other African nations.
