Produce military hardware in Nigeria, BPP tells military
The Bureau of Public Procurement has urged the military that purchasing military hardware from other nations puts Nigeria at a disadvantage.
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 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.”Mamman Ahmadu made this call during a courtesy visit by Major General J.O.
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.
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.
