Insecurity: Africa Must Invest In Indigenous Military Innovations – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged African nations to adopt home-grown solutions to tackle security challenges, stressing that the continent cannot remain a consumer of military technology.

Speaking at the 2025 African Chiefs of Defence Staff Summit in Abuja, Shettima called for investments in cyber-defence, artificial intelligence, and indigenous military innovations. He said insecurity—ranging from terrorism and insurgency to piracy, cybercrime, and transnational crime—requires coordinated strategies and shared intelligence across borders.

Shettima also pushed for a new doctrine of continental defence rooted in trust, cooperation, and interoperability, while urging the private sector to invest in Africa’s defence future.
