I laugh in Boko Haram tears.

Which Nigeria is first on the list?
Which kind of weapons are produced there? When we're the weapons produced last?
Who is buying those weapons?
What is the capacity of the their weapons?

I hope OP is not taking about knives and cutlass grin grin tongue

Kaduna houses DICON that produces weapons and is still massively under attack. Maybe they are producing the weapons for Boko and Hisbah..

Maybe the weapon they're producing are not physical.
