He explained that feat, was the gain of his recent working visit to some companies in the USA, adding that the tour was aimed at promoting innovative technologies that would enhance the Nigerian military’s efficiency in addressing contemporary security challenges.

NAN reports that the minister recently visited the U.S. and inspected NEANY, Swift Ships, and the OCR Global, a Hi-Tech Military producing hardware companies in the US.

The minister also explained that the idea was to encourage partnership with the US companies in the production of Military hardware locally in Nigeria in collaboration with Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON).
