Message From Our CEO

Lily Grace Okem

For too long, Africa’s defence institutions have depended on external suppliers for the equipment, training, and systems their own security requires. ACE exists to change that, not by replacing partnerships, but by building the local capability to sustain them. Every programme we run, from a production line to a training curriculum, is built to outlast the contract that started it.

WHAT DRIVES US

Mission & Vision

Every programme we deliver is guided by a clear purpose, building lasting defence
capability that strengthens nations from within that what we actually.

Vision

A self-sufficient Africa, equipped to manufacture, maintain, and protect its people, institutions, and future without reliance on external powers.

Mission

Strengthening Africa's defence and security architecture through world-class training, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure protection programmes nationwide.

Core Values

Guided by integrity, innovation, partnership, sovereignty, and excellence, we build sustainable national capability across every programme we deliver.
