President Bola Tinubu has assented to the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) Bill, 2023.

The Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria was established on August 1, 1964 by an Act of Parliament and revised as the DICON Act in Chapter 94 of the Laws of the Federation, 2004.

According to a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria Act, 2023, repealed the previous iteration of the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria Act.

The statement further noted that the Act has empowered the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria to “operate, maintain, and control subsidiaries and ordnance factories to manufacture, store, and dispose of ordnance and ancillary stores and material.

“Establish the Defence Industry Technology, Research, and Development Institute (DITRDI) to create an elaborate scientific and research-based technological foundation for Nigeria’s defence industry through the leveraging of combined, multi-disciplinary research from multiple military research institutes for application that leads to commercialization and the development of new military technology and capacity in Nigeria.

“Provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for the regulation of the manufacturing, distribution, storage, and disposal of defence articles in Nigeria.

“Incentivize the development of a nuanced financing architecture that enables private capital to facilitate research, development, and production in the defence sector in a transparent and predictable fashion,” the statement reads.

The Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria Bill, 2023, was sponsored by the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Defence, Hon. Babajimi Benson (APC — Ikorodu Federal Constituency)
