 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...

COOKING GAS PRICES COULD DROP TO BETWEEN N900 PER KG BY THE END OF 2026 -NALPGAM SAYS. (PHOTO).



The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM) says retail cooking gas prices could fall to between N900 and N1,100 per kilogram by the end of 2026 if the Federal Government implements reforms to boost supply and cut costs.


The President of NALPGAM, Mr Edu Inyang, made the projection in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.


According to him, although Nigeria has recorded significant growth in local Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) production, rising demand and persistent supply chain challenges continue to keep prices high.


NAN reports that cooking gas, which sold for between N900 and N1,000 per kilogram in April, now costs between N2,000 and N2,500 per kilogram in many parts of the Lagos metropolis.


Inyang said Dangote Refinery and Nigeria LNG (NLNG) supplied about 87 per cent of Nigeria’s domestic LPG market in 2025.


He, however, noted that Dangote Refinery later clarified that its LPG output was primarily intended for the production of higher-value products rather than the local cooking gas market.


“As a result, the refinery significantly reduced its allocation to the domestic LPG market, creating supply disruptions that the industry was not prepared for,” he said.


He explained that while local LPG production had increased, many producers were still operating below installed capacity, leaving growing consumer demand unmet.
