‘DICON will supply military equipment to fight terrorism’The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has said that the attack on Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum in Baga is not military sabotage. DEFENCE Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON), Kaduna State, says it is working round the clock to meet the armed forces’ demands of more military hardware to fight against terrorism in the country. Director-General of DICON, Major Gen. Victor Ezugwu, made this known while receiving the leadership of Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) who were in Kaduna to see how the company was faring and to see possible areas of collaboration. Ezugwu expressed the readiness of Nigeria’s premier military industry to partner with the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) to promote local content in its productions. President of NSE, Babagana Mohammed, commended the company for putting local content development on the front burner, saying the Federal Government should deliberately support local content in the overall interest of the country.
