Speaking on the challenge, he said the wars involving Israel, Iran, the United States, Russia and Ukraine are affecting the global supply of military equipment needed to fight insecurity.
According to the minister, the increasing demand for weapons and defence materials by countries involved in these conflicts has made procurement more difficult for nations like Nigeria.
He noted that competition for military hardware has intensified, creating delays and shortages in the international market.
Musa explained that the situation is affecting Nigeria’s efforts to strengthen its security operations against terrorism, banditry and other criminal activities.
He said many countries are now struggling to access the equipment required to protect their citizens and maintain stability.
Despite the challenges, the minister maintained that the government remains committed to tackling insecurity.
He said authorities are exploring available options to equip security forces and ensure they remain capable of confronting threats across the country.
