RusselSmith and DICON Collaborate to Boost Nigeria's Defence Industry

RusselSmith Nigeria Limited, an ISO-certified company offering creative asset integrity and cutting-edge manufacturing solutions for key industries across Africa, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) to enhance local production capacity for defense equipment and parts.

By joining forces, DICON and Russel Smith aim to boost the local development and manufacturing of industrial and military-grade 3D-printed components for essential defense systems. This collaboration also aids in the execution of the DICON Act 2023 and corresponds with the Federal Government's goal of encouraging homegrown technology and domestic industry involvement in national security infrastructure.

It marks a major achievement in Nigeria's drive towards industrial independence and military modernization. Through the integration of Russel Smith's knowledge in industrial additive manufacturing with DICON's well-established position as the country's defense production authority, the collaboration will facilitate the local production of high-performance components, tools, and assemblies utilized in military contexts.

The partnership will also concentrate on fostering the local environment for advanced manufacturing materials, such as the creation of metal powders and filaments that adhere to the rigorous quality requirements necessary for defense and aerospace applications.

Speaking at the event, Major General Babatunde Alaya, Director General of DICON, highlighted the significance of the DICON Act 2023 in facilitating these strategic collaborations:

This partnership with Russel Smith marks a significant milestone in the development of the Military Industrial Complex.

It is a direct outcome of the legal structure established by the DICON Act 2023, and I owe gratitude to the President, Bola Tinubu, for approving this crucial law.

The head of the organization also thanked the Minister of Defence, the Minister of State for Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the heads of the military services for their ongoing direction and steadfast backing of DICON, which contributed to its successes.

"I fully back this effort, as it has the potential to revolutionize our national security framework," he stated.

Also addressing the gathering,Kayode Adeleke, Chief Executive Officer of RusselSmith,reaffirmed RusselSmith's dedication to backing the collaboration, stating:

We are pleased to collaborate with DICON on this innovative project that bolsters Nigeria's defense manufacturing sector. This cooperation will develop local expertise in high-value production and improve our capability to provide superior quality, accuracy, and dependability by utilizing cutting-edge 3D manufacturing techniques.

We are collectively establishing the groundwork for a new era of indigenous defense advancement and manufacturing capacity, making a tangible move toward sustainable innovation that supports the nation's larger industrial network.

By incorporating 3D printing into military manufacturing, the collaboration aims to minimize weaknesses in the supply chain, support immediate production, and open up possibilities for research, development of local resources, and cooperation within the region.

Speaking to the press,Maria Sambo, Director of Public Relations at DICON, noted:

:A major step forward in achieving technological independence and establishing Nigeria's Military Industrial Complex (MIC) has been made, as DICON and Russel Smith have entered into a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The tactical decision involves boosting the local creation of additive materials used in producing essential defense machinery.

She mentioned that the partnership "represents the direct execution of the DICON Act 2023," noting that it enables DICON to work with local specialists to enhance national security via homegrown manufacturing.

At the core of this MoU is the implementation of Additive Manufacturing (AM), also referred to as industrial 3D manufacturing, which will transform DICON's production abilities," Sambo said. "Additive manufacturing technologies allow for quick, on-demand, and local production of intricate parts using high-performance materials like metal alloys and modern polymers.

The official signing event, held on October 20, 2025, was joined by top managers from both companies and highlights a mutual dedication to enhancing local expertise within the defense and production industries.
