Mr president need Biafra on this point.

hemartins:
inasmuch as this is a very good move, I will say it is at a very wrong time.
the issue of insurgency should be combated with all alacrity. buy foreign weapons, totally crush boko haram. when all these are done. when there is peace and tranquility in the north then we can now start talking about making weapons locally.
God Bless PMB.

and who told weapons production is a one day thing

JoshGiantfeet:
There you go, perhaps you'd prefer I wailed in every thread!!! Fly away!

D choice remains Urs.

alaoeri:
They are calling him a dullard/illerate yet he's proving it to them that he's more intelligent and got leadership skills than their PHD holder in zoology, TANoids should stop wailing over spilled milk, Jona is gone & gone for good.

You can say that again, well said my brother.

President Buhari has initiated moves for the production of weapons in Nigeria. According to a statement signed and released by Senior Special Adviser to the president on media and publicity Garba Shehu today August 7th, President Buhari charged the Federal Ministry of Defence to produce a plan for the establishment of a modest Military Industrial Complex for the local production of weapons to meet some of the requirements of the country's armed forces. The statement after the cut..


President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja directed the Federal Ministry of Defence to produce a plan for the establishment of a modest Military Industrial Complex for the local production of weapons to meet some of the requirements of the country's armed forces. Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the National Defence College, President Buhari described as unacceptable, Nigeria's current over-dependence on other countries for critical military equipment and logistics. "We must evolve viable mechanisms for near-self-sufficiency in military equipment and logistics production complemented only by very advanced foreign technologies. "The Ministry of Defence is being tasked to draw up clear and measurable outlines for development of a modest Military Industrial Complex for Nigeria. "In this regard, it is to liaise with other strategic MDAs and industries to re-engineer the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) to meet national military hardware and logistics requirements," the President said. President Buhari told the gathering that his administration had, since its assumption of office, reviewed the nature and character of Nigeria's security threats and challenges. "We recognized first and foremost, the external dimensions of these threats and the need for international cooperation and common security mechanisms to tackle them," the President said.

President Buhari added that in the light of this realization, his Administration was "convinced that the best approach was to work within the framework of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) to mobilize a collective regional effort in the fight against terrorism and insurgency.

The President urged the graduates and officers and men of the Armed Forces to work harder to win the war against Boko Haram, terrorism and insurgency.

"We must apply a comprehensive strategy and coordinate all elements of national power against terrorism and insurgency; we must show result oriented leadership at all levels of military Command; we must set up an optimal organization to manage and sustain operational performance; and we must show confidence and winning mentality," President Buhari told them.

The President assured that the Federal Government under his leadership will strive to meet the operational, logistic, training and welfare requirements of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

He also reaffirmed his commitment to ameliorating the hardships of people living in areas most affected by insurgency and terrorism.

"We have the will, resolve and conviction to apply a comprehensive strategy and coordinate all elements of national power against terrorism and insurgency," the President reassured Nigerians and the international community.

President Buhari said that the National Defence College had fulfilled the vision of its founding fathers, by becoming a strategic human capacity-building institution, making credible contributions to Nigeria and other friendly countries.

The President urged graduates of the College's Course 23 to resolve to make "a marked difference in your future deployments and contribute your quota to the evolution and implementation of national security, defence and military strategies."
"You should be the source that lights up the environment wherever you find yourselves," he told them.

productions of arms is do ne worldwide by private companies who are licence and they sell to govt around the world, that's how it has been i n teh beginning, read the story of AK47 and the humble pistol and gunpoweder

explorer250:
Nigeria cant do this without the igbo nation.
I have observed that my patriotism lies with the igbo nation. I am strong supporter of biafra because nigeria dont see us as one, but deep inside me i would prefer a united nigeria to biafra because with biafra there is no limit to what we can achieve as a united country. Until the nigerian govt brings about a policy to integrate the nation i my love lies to my tribe first b4 nigeria, and this is thesame with every other igbo.

I think that its high time nigeria swallows its pride and harness the igbo peoples potentials.


NIGERIA RUN TO THE IGBO NATION AND YOUR PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED!

Stop overating yourself eidiot! This is the reason why you remain a subject from Independence. You don't seem to ever learn so you will remain there for a while
