In order to guarantee that the Defense Industries Corporation of Nigeria, or DICON, fulfills its goals by 2030, President Bola Tinubu has pledged to make large expenditures in the organization.
At the inaugural African Defence Industries Conference and DICON’s 60th anniversary celebration in Abuja, Tinubu pledged to keep this commitment.
Sen. George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on behalf of the President, stated that the administration’s primary priority continues to be national security.
He went on to say that DICON had entered a new age and was now positioned as the spearhead of the country’s Military Industrial Complex with the signing of the DICON Act 2023.
He said:
“It is also providing a robust framework to drive our strategic objectives in defence manufacturing and technology and supporting the modernisation of our Armed Forces to address national and subre-gional security challenges.
“As we celebrate this diamond jubilee, we also embrace a renewed vision for the future, aligned with our administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The DICON Evolution Strategy and Road Map 2030, based on the DICON Act 2023 that we launch today, aims to bridge performance gaps in our Military Industrial Complex and reposition DICON as a global player, as was long envisaged by our founding fathers.”
