The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, has declared that Nigeria lacks the technological capability to develop and produce military equipment for the sustainable development of the country.
This was even as the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE) has declared that its members have a role to play towards the security of lives and property in the country as the drivers of technology and innovations.
Irabor spoke in Abuja at the 2023 Annual Public Lecture of the NSE, Bwari Branch, which was held with the theme, “National Security as a Panacea for Sustainable Economic Growth: The Role of Engineers”.
Irabor, who was represented by the Director, Engineering Services, Defence Headquarters, Maj. Gen. Gat Ochigbano, urged the NSE to deepen its partnership with the Federal Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
He said: “To this effect, engineers and researchers could focus attention on training and R&D in critical areas of defence such as missile design, military vehicle engineering, marine architecture etc
