Nigeria Defense Market Drivers
Rise of terrorism is one of the most crucial factors influencing the Nigerian defense market. Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa (ISWA), and Ansaru Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan (Ansaru) are the three major terrorist groups operating in Nigeria. The country has been witnessing an increased number of terrorist attacks from these groups in the past few years, especially from Boko Haram, which has recently intensified its operations to claim a portion of the country as its own so it can enforce Islamic Sharia law.
Furthermore, Nigeria also faces smuggling, weapons trading, drug trafficking, and illegal entry. The illegal smuggling of arms and ammunition into the country through seaports and borders came to its attention in October 2010 when men from the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the State Security Service (SSS) discovered 13 container loads of arms and ammunition at the Apapa Wharf Ports Complex in Lagos. In October 2021, Nigerian authorities intercepted nearly half a million amphetamine pills hidden in machinery coming into a Lagos port. The continuation of terrorism and illegal activities in the country is likely to force the Nigerian government to pool in additional investments and allocate higher budgets for the defense sector in the forthcoming years.
