Nigeria Now Selling Arms To Countries – FG
Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, on Monday, disclosed that many African countries now purchase arms and ammunition from the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON).
He made this known during the 60th anniversary of DICON and launch of the maiden Africa defence industries conference in Abuja.
Matawalle said despite industry challenges, DICON is committed to independence and has the capacity to produce military vehicles and artilleries.
“DICON’s journey began with a modest start, focusing on the production of small arms and ammunition,” he said.
“Over the years, DICON has expanded its capabilities, venturing into the manufacture of military vehicles, artillery, and other defence equipment.
“Despite facing challenges, DICON persevered, driven by its commitment to self-reliance and national security.
“DICON’s 60-year journey is a testament to Nigeria’s commitment to self-reliance in defence production.
“But we assure you that we have the capacity, we can produce, and as you know, many countries, many African countries now are coming to DICON for the procurement of arms and ammunition.”
