 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.

 Power supply: Nigeria won’t get it  right in three and a half years- Gov Dapo Abiodun


Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, says Nigerians must be patient as the challenges faced in the power sector can not be sorted in three and a half years.


Speaking at the 2026 APC National Convention held in Abuja on Friday, March 27, Abiodun admitted that power supply has been inconsistent in recent weeks.


“From the common man’s point of view, we have had problems with power supply in the last couple of weeks, but we will not get it right 100 per cent in three and a half years,” he said.


Despite these setbacks, the governor maintained that the situation is improving gradually.

Nigeria has in the last two months experienced poor power supply. This has been attributed to limited gas supply to thermal power plants. The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has even come out to apologise to Nigerians for the poor supply of electricity and said that the situation will improve within two weeks.
