Tinubu Backs Local Arms Production To Tackle Insecurity President Bola Tinubu has pledged to accelerate the local production of arms and ammunition as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s fight against insurgency and other security threats. Speaking at the graduation of Course 33 of the National Defence College in Abuja, Tinubu—represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima—said indigenous manufacturing would reduce dependence on foreign suppliers while boosting security and development. He emphasized that strong institutions are key to national security and democracy, adding that his administration remains committed to completing the permanent site of the Defence College and transforming it into a Defence Postgraduate University. Tinubu also reaffirmed his resolve to reposition Nigeria’s economy for growth, noting improvements in investor confidence, while stressing the need to tackle inflation and food insecurity. #Tinubu #NigeriaSecurity #LocalArmsProduction #Insecurity
