The Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria–D7G (DICON-D7G) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s defence and security architecture, pledging deeper collaboration with government institutions, private sector partners and global allies in 2026.
The assurance was given on Monday, in an end-of-year felicitation message issued by the Chief Executive Officer of DICON-D7G, Mr Osman Chennar, as the organisation reflected on its operations in 2025 and outlined its strategic priorities for the year ahead.

“As we draw the curtain on another defining year, we extend our profound gratitude to our esteemed stakeholders, partners and the general public for their unwavering trust, collaboration and shared belief in our collective mission,” he said.
Reaffirming support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the DICON-D7G boss said the policy direction continues to provide purposeful leadership, inspire national resilience and drive strategic transformation across critical sectors.

According to him, DICON-D7G will continue to work collaboratively with relevant government agencies, private sector players and international partners to safeguard national interests and contribute meaningfully to a safer and stronger Nigeria.
He assured the Federal Government under President Tinubu, as well as stakeholders and the general public, that 2026 would be characterised by impactful growth, strategic expansion and purposeful engagement within the defence and security ecosystem.
“Together, we will continue to build trust, enhance capacity and champion initiatives that promote peace, security and sustainable national development,” he added.

The partnership plays a key role in efforts to deepen Nigeria’s defence industrial base and reduce reliance on foreign military procurement.
