General Ezugwu Produce Military Armoured
Vehicle
The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA)has been drawn to an
online publication on Nairaland Forum/Nairaland with a caption –
“Meet Emmanuel Ezugwu: Military War Vehicle Named After Him”.
In the light of the above erroneous and misleading publication,
the NA finds it necessary to correct the gross misrepresentation
and wrong assertion and to put the records very clear that the
Emmanuel Ezugwu referred to in the publication is NOT the brain
behind the Nigerian Army locally manufactured Mine Resistance Anti-
Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP).
The NA MRAP was indeed conceptualized, invented and designed by
a serving army General – Major General Victor Okwudili Ezugwu the
current Director General Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria.
Major General Victor Okwudili Ezugwu NOT Prof Emmanuel Ezugwu not
only conceptualized and designed the production of the first ever
Nigerian made MRAP, but also diligently supervised the production
from the beginning to the end at the Army Command Engineering Depot
(CED), Kaduna.
For record, history and posterity, find below a brief history of
Maj Gen Victor Okwudili Ezugwu and the MRAP:
Maj Gen Victor Okwudili Ezugwu was born on the 28 June 1964. He
joined the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna on 27 September 1985 as
a member of 37 Regular Combatant and Commissioned to the rank of
2Lt on 22 September 1990.
An infantry officer of high professional rating, he served
Nigeria meritoriously in ECOMOG/UN Operations in Sierra Leone and
Liberia and Operation RESTORE HOPE in Niger Delta. He commanded 28
Task Force Brigade in Adamawa State and 7 Division Maiduguri as
General Officer Commanding from 2015 – 2017. He was appointed
Director General Defence Industries Corporation on 3 June 2019.
An engineer by mere providence and passion, he initiated the
design and production of prototypes variants of Light, tactical
patrol as well as Armoured Fighting Vehicles by DICON-CED Kaduna.
In recognition of these feats, the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen TY
Buratai rewarded his achievements by naming the first indigenous
MRAP as Ezugwu.
