There truly is hope for Nigeria afterall,I came across this made in Nigeria armoured Vehicles on the web,
named igirigi, specifically made for the Nigerian Army to assist them in fighting Boko
Haram War.
The Igirigi Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) is the Nigerian
Army’s locally manufactured armoured personnel carrier.
Designed and manufactured by the army Corps of Engineers,
the APC was first introduced to the media during the 2012 Nigeria Army Day
celebrations (NADCEL). While actual specs of the vehicle are still undisclosed,
observers noted the remote control weapons station, and its IED deflecting V
shaped hull.
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika,
said the local production of APC had saved the nation at least 30 per cent of
the cost of the foreign version and that the unveiling of the APC was part of
the ongoing reform in the military and in line with the transformation agenda
of the Jonathan administration.
Lets hope the present administration continue the production and even surpasses it.
