The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) has urged the military that purchasing military hardware from other nations puts Nigeria at a disadvantage.

A statement from the Bureau said the BPP Director General, Mamman Ahmadu told the top brass that visited him that “military hardware purchased from other nations puts the country at a disadvantaged position which could compromise the country’s security due to the fact that the basic technology is resident in the country of procurement, who will be unwilling to easily avail other nations of such technology.”

According to the BPP DG, “building a military industrial complex in order to design and produce indigenous military hardware which will be founded on sound research and development (R&) will reduce reliance on sourcing spares from other nations and thus abate the possibility of exposing the nation’s military flanks to the enemies in the time of emergency.”

He then urged the Nigerian Military to look inwards to develop the country’s own military hardware.



Mamman Ahmadu made this call during a courtesy visit by Major General J.O. Oni, the Director Procurement, Defence Headquarters (DHQ) and his team to the BPP.

Mamman Ahmadu opined that the development of the internal capacity in the military is key to building a virile military base that will lead the country into a nation to be taken seriously by the rest of the world.

The BPP boss stated that the military must look inward to develop its own military hardware just like some other developed nations of the world that have very strong force.

Mamman Ahmadu while appreciating the efforts of the Nigerian Military in ensuring strict adherence to the Public Procurement Act, 2007 emphasised the significance of the military to any nation, stating that the whole world has benefitted tremendously from military research.

He said that some of the terms such as strategies, value engineering used in the civilian arena “are the by – products of military research and some other terminologies in our vocabularies today.”

Maj. Gen. J.O. Oni in his response stated that a lot of Research and Development need to go into the production of military hardware.

He said a number of privately owned companies in Nigeria must be encouraged to be able to produce military equipment and emphasised that it is not what the military can handle alone. Stating that Research and Development (R&) is key to military development.

He emphasised the fact that even if the government is willing to provide the fund for research to have a military industrial complex, his fear is whether Nigeria has the capacity to be able to undertake the responsibility.

Kids know nothing come here and be ranting rubbish. If Boko haram/ISWAP was a traditional conventional/guerrilla force like we've seen with most other rebel groups it would have since been crushed too by the Nigerian Army t

BabaOwen:
Una don start to dey make mouth again
The military didn't crush MEND and other Niger delta militants. In fact, with the military operation ongoing in the Niger delta, militants kept on bombing and yaradua had to give them amnesty.

We all saw what happened when PMB tried to stop paying militants, he had to change his position and started paying them when he saw the military couldn't stop them from bombing.

This Nigerian military am looking at will struggle against Benin republic military

AskiaHarem:
Benin Republic aka the 37th State of Nigeria would be light work. Sending in the Armed Forces is going overkill. Lagos Police force is enough to block there attack and overrun there country within a week. Officers will be handing out speeding tickets in Contonou while Patrice Talon is being dragged by his neck to Lagos .

seankafor:
ordinary border we block sef..dem don dey feel the heat

Naija is politically corrupt no doubt..but believe you me when it comes to defending this country..no african country can dare try her in any warfare be it economic or battle.. I can beat my chest to that.

ugo4u:
Do you have facts to back this up or you are just being sentimental?
Stop deceiving yourself.

seankafor:
so you ain't deceiving yourself when you lay unsubstantiated claims and hate speeches..but suddenly one deceives himself and becomes sentimental when been optimistic and positive.

As for facts..seeing is believing..

Try and see

ugo4u:
I wonder how hate speech come into play here making you face reality, hope you know what you're saying sha

Thank God you said the highlighted which is far from reality on ground.
Young man stop decieving yourself this is part of the problem we have as a nation, and imextension fight against insurgency overbloated ego. Go and overrun Benin na!! since they too can't press trigger.

Clearly an ambush. The BHTs that carried out this attack are clearly the sort of SF arm of the group and not the ragtag remnants searching for food in abandoned villages. Left to me, i would assume that BH/ISWAP had prior knowledge of troop movement or perhaps they have improved their intelligence gathering capability.
