Thats the initiative of Gen Ihejirika (an Igboman) approved by GEJ

Igirigi is an Igbo word for falling dew.

The same man accused by APC and Northern leaders of committing genocide and replaced by GEJ under presssure when he was on the verge of wiping out Boko Haram.

If only Nigeria will combine the technological ingenuity of the Igbos and the software brilliance of Yoruba the country can become potential exporters of finished goods. But tribalism seems to be choking us all.

The conceptualizer was a former Chief of Army Staff of Igbo descent called General Ihejirika who was inspired by what he saw the former Biafran rebels produce during the Nigerian civil war in the late sixties.

The Igirigi APC is the Nigerian Army's locally manufactured armoured personnel carrier.

Designed and manufactured by the army Corps of Engineers, the APC was first introduced to the media during the 2012 Nigeria Army Day celebrations (NADCEL). While actual specs of the vehicle are still undisclosed, observers noted the remote control weapons station, and its IED deflecting V shaped hull.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika,said the local production of APC had saved the nation at least 30 per cent of the cost of the foreign version and that the unveiling of the APC was part of the ongoing reform in the military and in line with the transformation agenda of the Jonathan administration.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, announced this at a news conference as part of activities lined up for the NADCEL celebration. Ihejirika, represented by Maj.-Gen Bitrus Kwaji, Chief of Military-Civil Relations, said the local production of APC had saved the nation at least 30 per cent of the cost of the foreign version.The COAS said the unveiling of the APC was part of the ongoing reform in the military and in line with the transformation agenda of the Jonathan administration.

“The transformation agenda of the Federal Government has been the inspiration driving the vision of the COAS to continue to lead the army on the path of professionalism.

“This achievement is part of the transformation agenda of Mr. President for the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to look inwards and the Nigerian Army decided to key into it,’’ he said.
He said that the high point of the ceremony, expected to be witnessed by Jonathan, would include the unveiling of the APC, Combat Airborne Jump and Helicopter Rappelling.
