 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.

 LASISMA SERVES NOTICES, MARKS BUILDINGS UNDER TENSION RIGHT-OF-WAY IN ALAGBADO/OKE-ODO


 The Lagos State Informal Space Management Authority (LASISMA) Officials, last week Tuesday, on the directives of the Honourable Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Olumide Oluyinka, staged a strategic enforcement and sensitisation exercise at Alagbado/Oke-Odo axis of Lagos State to address physical planning infractions along the AIT road corridor.


 


Representing the General Manager, TPL Daisi Oso, TPL Emmanuel Seyi Ogunyemi and his team served contravention notices on occupants within the corridor and marked buildings encroaching on the high-tension right-of-way.


 


During the exercise, affected property owners were directed to recess their buildings away from the high-tension corridor right of way, in line with safety and planning regulations. The team emphasised that the action was necessary to safeguard lives and property, reduce environmental hazards and ensure strict compliance with the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law 2019 as amended.


 


Speaking during the visit, TPL Ogunyemi reiterated the Agency’s commitment to proactive monitoring and enforcement, noting that structures built under or too close to high tension lines pose serious safety risks to residents and the wider community.


 


The LASISMA enforcement team, working together with Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), later had a fruitful discussion with the Chairman of the LCDA, Hon. Abiodun Jimoh Ejigbadero on the need to strengthen the collaboration on improving land use compliance and promoting sustainable development within the council area.


 


Responding, Hon. Ejigbadero expressed his administration’s readiness to work closely with LASISMA and other relevant agencies to ensure orderly development and Urban aesthetics across the LCDA.


 


The exercise forms part of LASISMA’s ongoing efforts to enforce planning standards in all informal urban and incidental open spaces to promote a safer and more organised Lagos.
