 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.

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED RINGWORM OUTBREAK SPREADING IN MINNESOTA, HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN. (PHOTO).



Sexually transmitted ringworm outbreak spreading in Minnesota, health officials warn

Health officials in Minnesota are warning of a sexually transmitted form of ringworm, caused by the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII, or TMVII, which has been spreading in the Twin Cities area. Dozens of confirmed and suspected cases have been reported since last summer, marking the largest U.S. outbreak of this strain to date. Doctors are being asked to report any cases, and anyone with suspicious rashes—especially following sexual contact—should seek medical care and alert partners.

TMVII differs from typical ringworm infections in that it spreads primarily through sexual contact and often causes painful, highly inflammatory rashes that can persist and leave permanent scarring. While ringworm in general is treatable with antifungals, TMVII cases frequently require extended treatment and can lead to secondary infections if left untreated. Minnesota officials report 13 confirmed and 27 suspected cases so far, with most cases occurring in men who have sex with men. Preventive measures include avoiding skin-to-skin contact if a rash is present, covering affected areas, not sharing personal items, and practicing thorough handwashing.
