 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.

 TRADERS WILL NOT REMODEL THEIR SHOPS AT ARIARIA, GOVR. OTTI, ASSURES NO TRADER WOULD LOSE HIS SHOP


Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, has reiterated that no existing shop owner will lose his shop in the ongoing remodelling projects in Ariaria International Market and Ekeoha Market in Aba . 


Governor Otti stated this on Thursday, at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, while receiving a delegation of the National Executive Council of the National Association of Nigerian Traders.


The Governor  said that, the original shop owners would be given the first right of refusal, before deciding otherwise, informing the delegation that, he has handed down instructions to that effect.


He also assured that the number of shops being built are enough to accommodate both the existing owners and the prospective ones. 


Gov. Otti noted that he understands the economic circumstances in the entire country, hence, he made arrangements with some banks to enable them to finance those who lack the liquidity to pay for their remodelled shop(s).


The Governor emphasised that he is not going to authorise the traders to develop the shops by themselves because, he cannot guarantee the standard they will build it, saying that his government does not compromise quality.


He directed the Commissioner for Trade and Commerce's, DG PPP and DG GADA to ensure that what the government is doing in the remodelling project is communicated properly to the traders. 


Earlier in his speech, the National President, National Association of Nigerian Traders, Dr Ken Ukoha, who led the Chairmen of Ariaria International Market and his Ekeoha Market counterpart, as well as other members of his organisation from across the country, appreciated the achievements of Governor Otti on many areas of the economy, especially, the markets.


In line with the contributions of the Chairmen of the 2 major markets undergoing remodelling, Dr Ukoha requested the Governor to allow the traders participate in the remodelling and developing the markets so that they would not lose their shops.
