He pledged that the Senate would render maximum support to the Armed Forces to achieve better results in strategic planning, national defence and security.

At DICON, the committee commended the Director General for the successes attained in the production of military hardware for the armed forces of Nigeria. Wamakko said DICON was extremely innovative, productive, proactive and scientifically based.
