The executive vice chairman/CEO of NASENI, Prof. Muhammad Haruna, disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Faruk Yahaya at the Army headquarters in Abuja.

He said, ā€œNASENI is currently collaborating with some indigenous research Institutions and Industries; one of which is the Nigerian Machine Tools (NMT) Osogbo. NASENI, NMT and Nigerian Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering jointly produced 12.7mm AA Gun through reverse engineering.Ā 

ā€œOn the international scene, NASENI has identified some potential partners in the development and production of small arms and light weapons, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Airboat, MRAPS, APCS and light aircraft (fixed wing and rotary wing).

ā€œWe are doing certain things already and this has presidential order and institutional framework to see that this is well coordinated and presented. The Nigerian Army has seen what we have produced for them before, tested and commented. Now it has presidential directives that their requirement as much as possible should come from the country.Ā
