DICON, 50 firms partner for defence production 

The Director-General, Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON), Maj.-Gen. Aniedi Edet, says no fewer than 50 firms have indicated interest in partnership for defence production.

Edet made the announcement during an engagement with the staffers of the firm on Thursday in Kaduna.

He said that staff engagement was key to the management of DICON, while reminding them of the five management pillars that were key to the corporation.

Edet listed the pillars to include; business orientation, where the corporation would be run as an enterprise.

They also include professionalism, which according to him, had manifested in many ways to include going back to production, which they were able to achieve.

He further mentioned the others to include communication, in which he lamented that upon his assumption as the director-general, there was a breach, which he had striven to close the gap.

He said, “We have been communicating to staff and this engagement has been held in series and stood as routine in the corporation that we have been holding.”
