• The public sector manages funding,
personnel, operational command, and
legislative frameworks for Nigeria's
defence system.
• Collaboration between the sectors
promote efficient production and
maintenance of military resources,
fostering innovation and reducing
reliance on foreign technology.

IMPACTS OF FOREIGN DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

capabilities, allowing for better management of security
challenges and deterring threats, facilitating the
transformation of defence systems with new platforms and
innovations.

• Negative Impact. Reliance on foreign defence technology
has raised concerns about national security. Dependence on
external suppliers has created compatibility issues with
existing systems and logistical and financial challenges due to
reliance on foreign maintenance and support.
