Nigeria pushes African defence self-reliance as AFRIDEX ends

ایفریڈیکس کے اختتام پر نائجیریا کا افریقی دفاعی خود انحصاری پر زور

एफ़्रिडेक्स के समापन पर नाइजीरिया का अफ़्रीकी रक्षा आत्मनिर्भरता पर ज़ोर

Nigeria pushes African defence self-reliance as AFRIDEX ends

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Nigeria has urged African countries to build their own defence industries and rely less on foreign weapons, as the first Africa International Defence Exhibition, AFRIDEX 2026, closed in Lagos.
  • Defence Minister Christopher Musa told visiting African defence ministers and chiefs that Africa must shape its own security future and make its standby force fully operational.
  • Separately, the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria joint venture DICON-D7G said Nigeria could become largely self-sufficient in arms and ammunition within five to ten years, expanding local production of tanks, armoured vehicles, mine-resistant vehicles, boats and drones, and pointed to the DG103 weapon already made at its Kaduna factory.
  • نائجیریا نے افریقی ملکوں سے اپیل کی ہے کہ وہ اپنی دفاعی صنعتیں بنائیں اور غیر ملکی ہتھیاروں پر انحصار کم کریں، کیونکہ لاگوس میں پہلی افریقہ انٹرنیشنل ڈیفنس ایگزیبیشن، ایفریڈیکس 2026، ختم ہو گئی ہے۔ وزیر دفاع کرسٹوفر موسیٰ نے افریقی وزرائے دفاع اور فوجی سربراہان سے کہا کہ افریقہ کو اپنے تحفظ کا مستقبل خود طے کرنا چاہیے اور اپنی اسٹینڈ بائی فورس کو مکمل فعال بنانا چاہیے۔ الگ سے ڈیفنس انڈسٹریز کارپوریشن آف نائجیریا کے مشترکہ ادارے ڈی آئی سی او این-ڈی 7 جی نے کہا کہ نائجیریا پانچ سے دس سال میں اسلحہ اور گولہ بارود میں بڑی حد تک خود کفیل ہو سکتا ہے، اور ٹینک، بکتر بند گاڑیاں، بارودی سرنگوں سے محفوظ گاڑیاں، کشتیاں اور ڈرون مقامی طور پر بنائے گا۔ اس نے کڈونا فیکٹری میں بنے ڈی جی 103 ہتھیار کا بھی حوالہ دیا۔
  • नाइजीरिया ने अफ़्रीकी देशों से अपील की है कि वे अपने रक्षा उद्योग बनाएं और विदेशी हथियारों पर निर्भरता कम करें, क्योंकि लागोस में पहली अफ़्रीका अंतरराष्ट्रीय रक्षा प्रदर्शनी, एफ़्रिडेक्स 2026, समाप्त हो गई है। रक्षा मंत्री क्रिस्टोफ़र मूसा ने आए हुए अफ़्रीकी रक्षा मंत्रियों और सैन्य प्रमुखों से कहा कि अफ़्रीका को अपने सुरक्षा भविष्य का फ़ैसला खुद करना चाहिए और अपनी स्टैंडबाय फ़ोर्स को पूरी तरह सक्रिय बनाना चाहिए। अलग से, डिफ़ेंस इंडस्ट्रीज़ कॉरपोरेशन ऑफ़ नाइजीरिया के संयुक्त उपक्रम डिकॉन-डी7जी ने कहा कि नाइजीरिया पाँच से दस साल में हथियारों और गोला-बारूद में काफ़ी हद तक आत्मनिर्भर हो सकता है, और टैंक, बख़्तरबंद वाहन, बारूदी सुरंग से सुरक्षित वाहन, नावें और ड्रोन स्थानीय स्तर पर बनाएगा। इसने कडुना कारखाने में बने डीजी103 हथियार का भी हवाला दिया।
