Speaking at the Technology Orientation Centre, NASENI, Idu Industrial Layout Abuja, Managing Director of Proforce Intelligence Systems Limited, Engr. Ade Ogundeyin said, “Proforce is a company that was born out of the challenges in Nigeria. Nigeria has what it takes to be a great nation but our problem is that we are not harnessing our own resources.”

Engr. Prof. Mohammed Sani Haruna, Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NASENI, noted that Proforce has made NASENI proud with the development of military equipment particularly the Armoured Personnel Carriers. His organization will not reinvent the wheel but partner with Proforce for the benefit of the country.

The GMD was confident that this MOU will turn things around in the country since both organizations are resilient and resourceful. He noted that “the giants in NASENI and Proforce will emerge from today.”

Proforce had earlier entered into strategic connection with several organizations such as the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON), Ukraine’s PJSC Autokraz on joint vehicle production, and technical partnership with Turkish Atensci on ammunition production.
