Nigeria needs satellite for military operations

Nigeria needs a dedicated satellite to make its military operations more effective, Air Vice Marshal Tommy Udoh has said.
AVM Udoh said this yesterday when he led the management team of Defence Space Agency on a working visit to the Minister of science and technology Dr Ogbonnaya Onu in his office in Abuja.
The military chief said space agency is so important and sensible to military operations and the Nigerian military should have a dedicated satellite and a space agency of its own.
He called on all the stakeholders to support the passage of the Bill establishing the agency which has passed first reading at the National Assembly.
In his reaction, Dr. Onu said the government would work very hard in the years to come to strengthen all the structures of the Nigerian space agencies that would help to ensure that a Nigerian lands in space in fourteen years’ time.
