General Musa Advocates for Indigenous Defense Solutions

General Musa has significantly improved Nigeria's security coordination by uniting the Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, and intelligence services under a common purpose focused on skills, empowerment, employment, and national stability. He is recognized within the MUSAWAH Political Movement as a unifier and a leader who prioritizes results over accolades.
Since taking charge, he has made notable progress against terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping, leading to a more organized and purposeful security framework across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. His leadership was underscored at the Defence Futures Summit 2026, held on 14 October at the Armed Forces Event and Multipurpose Centre in Asokoro, Abuja, where he emphasized the need for Nigeria to produce its own defense tools.
He called for significant investment in indigenous defense technology and local manufacturing, stating that reliance on foreign sources for security tools must end to protect Nigeria's sovereignty.
