 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion. Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, saying the proposed facilities would enable Türkiye to support local military equipment production rather than simply supplying weapons and equipment. He also revealed that 200 Nigerian special forces personnel were undergoing a two-month training programme in Türkiye, with plans underway to establish a similar facility in Nigeria. “We are planning to have some local production unit also in that context, not only selling to Nigeria the tools, equipment, the arms that it needs, but also the possibility of having local production here in Nigeria,” Poroy said.

 LAWMA DEBUNKS CLAIMS OF UNPAID COMPENSATION TO LATE HIGHWAY SANITATION WORKER


The attention of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has been drawn to a recent publication by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), alleging that the Lagos State Government has failed to fulfil its promise to compensate the family of late Mrs. Aishat Muhammed, a highway sanitation worker, who tragically lost her life in the line of duty on May 7, 2025.


LAWMA wishes to categorically state that the claim is inaccurate and does not reflect the true position of events.


Following the unfortunate incident, the Authority, through its operational partner, Highway Managers, the company that directly engaged the deceased, immediately commenced discussions with the family. After due engagement, a mutually agreed compensation arrangement was reached.


In line with this agreement, a total sum of ₦4,340,000 was paid to the deceased’s son as full and final compensation. The payment covered the insurance settlement from the responsible party, burial support, and additional financial assistance, including salary support extended to the family after the incident.


The agreed compensation was duly received, and the matter was considered concluded based on the understanding reached with the family.


LAWMA remains deeply saddened by the tragic loss and extends its continued sympathies to the family. The Authority remains fully committed to prioritising the welfare, safety, and protection of all sanitation workers across Lagos State. In addition, relevant compliance and safety measures have been further strengthened to safeguard its workforce.


We respectfully urge media organisations to seek proper clarification before publication in order to ensure accurate, balanced, and responsible reporting.
