DICON–NIGUS
Building Defence Capability in Nigeria
The DICON–NIGUS framework provides a pathway toward Nigerian defence-industrial development through local capability, technology transfer, production, training and sustainment.
THE INDUSTRIAL PATHWAY
From Partnership to Local Capability
The framework is focused on developing Nigerian industrial capability around defence and security technologies.
Its public-facing narrative centres on industrialisation, local content, technology transfer, production, training, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and capability development.
AREAS IDENTIFIED
Capability development with appropriate disclosure.
The signed framework identifies areas including drones, electronic warfare and drone jamming, cybersecurity, MRO, and other defence-related products and services. Specific programmes and product-level information should only be published following approval.
Local content
Build local participation into the industrial pathway.
Technology transfer
Connect technology access with knowledge and engineering capability.
Production
Develop production capability, including assembly and integration where appropriate.
Training
Develop technical and maintenance skills.
MRO & capability development
Build maintenance, repair and overhaul capability and broader local capacity.
Nigus communicates the industrial and capability-development objectives of the collaboration while protecting confidential commercial, governance and security-sensitive information.
