The Ministry of Defence has announced the donation of two hi-tech unmanned water vessels to the Nigerian government by a military manufacturing company based in the United States of America, Swiftship.
The Ministry’s Director of Press, Henshaw Ogubike, made the announcement this Friday saying the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, had gone to the USA sometime back to inspect the facilities of high-tech military-producing hardware companies in the country.
Matawalle says the aim of the inspection was to promote innovative technologies that would enhance the Nigerian military’s efficiency in addressing prevailing security challenges.
He also said the result of that visit was the donation of the two vessels which include S2 and S3 Swift Sea Stalkers, saying the equipment would help to protect the maritime environment of the country as they would be deployed to the Niger Delta, Lake Chad region, and other maritime regions of the country.
