 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. On trade, the ambassador said bilateral trade currently stood at approximately $2 billion, including oil and gas, but both countries were targe...

FORMER PRESIDENTS, MOURNERS GATHERED TO HONOR REV. JESSE JACKSON. (PHOTO).

 Former presidents, mourners gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson


The late Reverend Jesse Jackson was honored on March 6 with a grand celebration of life attended by former presidents, first ladies, renowned musicians, and thousands of admirers. 


Jackson, who passed away at 84 in Chicago on February 17, was remembered as a towering figure in the Civil Rights Movement. 


Having worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr., he later established the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and led Operation Breadbasket to improve economic opportunities for Black communities. 


The ceremony, held at the House of Hope on Chicago’s South Side, featured tributes from leaders such as Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, as well as performances by Jennifer Hudson and BeBe Winans. 


Speakers reflected not only on Jackson’s global influence but also on the personal ways he touched their lives.


Barack Obama recalled Jackson’s groundbreaking presidential run, noting how his courage and determination inspired younger generations to believe they belonged in spaces once thought inaccessible. Obama credited Jackson’s example with paving the way for his own political journey. 


Jackson’s youngest son, Yusef, now CEO of the PUSH Coalition, emphasized his father’s devotion to family alongside his lifelong advocacy. He shared that Jackson’s final words to his children and grandchildren were “I love you,” underscoring the activist’s deep personal commitment. 


Yusef vowed to continue his father’s mission, echoing Jackson’s famous declaration “I am somebody” and promising to reinvest in uplifting children and marginalized communities.


The event drew not only dignitaries but also everyday Chicagoans who cherished Jackson’s presence in their city. 


Attendees like Eric Williams and Shauna Weatherspoon described him as a rare figure of service whose accessibility made his impact even more meaningful. 


For many, Jackson’s legacy is a reminder that progress is built on the shoulders of those who came before, and his call to “keep hope alive” remains a guiding principle for future generations.
