DG DICON on working visit to the Exc Gov of Lagos state in preparation for the hosting of AFRIDEX scheduled to hold in October 2026

The Director-General of DICON, Major General B.I. Alaya, paid a working visit to the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at Lagos House, Marina, as part of preparations for the hosting of the African Defence Exhibition scheduled for August 2026 in Lagos.

In his welcome remarks, Governor Sanwo-Olu stated:
Earlier today, I welcomed the Steering Committee of the Africa International Defence Exhibition, led by Major General B.I. Alaya, to Lagos House Marina.

The AFRIDEX 2026 team came by to brief me on their upcoming exhibition, which is shaping up to be a significant platform for defence and security dialogues on the continent. Security remains the bedrock of everything we build in Lagos so an initiative of this scale naturally has our attention.
I thanked General Alaya and his team for their visit and pledged our state’s full support to ensure the success of the exhibition.
