Speaking to the press at the Briech UAS headquarters, Echefu stated that with the right support and increased investment, indigenous companies have the capacity to provide the necessary logistics support to the military in the fight against insecurity.

While acknowledging government support for indigenous security firms, he called for more policies to foster Nigerian companies’ growth, especially those in the defence and security sector.”

“I can tell you that I am not the only one supporting the various sectors through local activities and local productions. There is a lot going on. People are even producing tractors in Nigeria now.

“The Nigerian military strongly supports local manufacturers through research collaboration and support,” Echefu added.
