The brief

Overview

The site serves 220 million Nigerians and oversees the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defence Headquarters.

The design balances institutional authority with citizen accessibility — a full-bleed military photography hero, structured leadership profiles for the Minister, Minister of State, and Permanent Secretary, and a Quick Access section that surfaces Recruitment, FOI, Procurement, and Veterans information directly from the homepage. Six strategic priority pillars are documented, and the press office section carries timestamped releases across security, humanitarian, reform, and veterans categories.
