The Nigerian Army has pledged to collaborate with Intrepid International Africa Services.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, made the promise on Wednesday when he received the management of the organisation, which was led by Senior Vice President, Vice Admiral DJ Ezeoba (retd), a former Chief of the Naval Staff, at the Army Headquarters, Abuja.
Buratai further indicated the interest of the Nigerian Army to partner with the company, saying it is a well-designed concept required to encourage local production in the defence and security sector.
He also added that such partnership would boost Nigeria’s economy.
Earlier in his remark, Ezeoba thanked the COAS for receiving his team, adding that they identified the gap in providing logistics support to the Nigerian military that hampers the successful prosecution of some operations.
He also commended the Nigerian Army in particular for leading the counter insurgency operations in the country, maintaining that the collaboration would further enhance the manoeuvre capability of the Service and further enhance its capacity in terms of the production of military equipment.
This, he added, would encourage economic development in Nigeria.
