In a bold stride toward intelligent warfare, the Nigerian military and police have partnered with NigComSat to leverage satellite and AI technology for national security. The partnership, announced at the NigComSat Accelerator Programme’s second phase in Abuja, aims to address terrorism, kidnapping, and organized crime.
Chief of Defence Transformation, AVM Vincent Aguiyi, representing CDS Gen. Christopher Musa, said Nigeria’s armed forces are prepared to work with tech innovators to enhance national resilience.
Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, represented by Commissioner Ahmed Sule, emphasized how digital intelligence aids criminal mapping and surveillance.
