 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.

Ford recalls over 600,000 vehicles due to defective windshield wipers

Ford is recalling more than 600,000 vehicles due to a defect that can cause windshield wipers to stop working.

The recall affects certain 2020, 2021, and 2022 models of the Explorer, Escape, Lincoln Aviator, and Lincoln Corsair. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a failing wiper motor can reduce driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford said the problem stems from a poor connection in the assembly of the front wiper motor, which can lead to intermittent wiper operation and eventual total failure.

Ford first investigated the issue in June 2021 after receiving multiple warranty complaints, but initially closed the case in September 2021, citing a low safety risk. The investigation was reopened in November 2025 after another increase in complaints. As of mid-February, Ford has recorded 1,374 warranty claims related to the faulty motors, but no accidents or injuries have been reported. The company estimates that only about 1% of recalled vehicles are affected.

Owners of affected vehicles will receive a mail notification and can have their front wiper motors inspected and replaced for free at Ford or Lincoln dealerships.
