A presidential committee on the review of Nigeria's defence policy visited Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) in Nnewi, Anambra, with the aim of inspecting facilities at the plant and see how the company could help Nigeria's defence sector.
The visiting committee chaired by Major General A. Adewuyi had Professor Isaac Olawale Albert as the team leader. He told Daily Sun that the basic reason for the visit was for the committee to see the facilities available at the company and see the extent to which the defence policy could draw some lessons.
Prof Albert said the idea was for Nigeria to begin to look inwards for
the procurement of some military hard and soft wares “ how we can
procure our vehicles, how do we procure our armoured vehicles locally,
how do we manufacture some of the things we need in the defence
industry. That is what brought us to Nnewi.”
Professor Albert explained that what the presidential committee had seen at the factory site suggested to them that without doubt, IVM had the capacity to supply the Nigerian military with many of its requirements in terms of military vehicles.
