 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.

 Jordan Henderson Set to Miss World Cup After Wrist Injury in England Celebrations


England’s 3-2 win over Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16 was followed by an injury to Jordan Henderson, who is now expected to miss the remainder of the tournament.


The Brentford midfielder was part of the England squad that secured victory at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium on Sunday, July 5, before the team joined supporters behind one of the goals to sing Oasis’ Wonderwall, which has become an unofficial anthem during the competition.


During the post-match celebrations, Henderson fell over an advertising board, landed awkwardly and was left on the ground receiving medical attention. Teammates and staff quickly surrounded him as treatment was provided on the pitch. He was later given oxygen and taken off on a stretcher.


England head coach Thomas Tuchel told the BBC that the 36-year-old had sustained “a quite serious” wrist injury and was taken to hospital for assessment.


Henderson remained in Mexico City overnight with a member of the England staff rather than travelling back with the squad to their training base in Kansas City, Missouri, according to ESPN.


Reports from The Athletic on Monday, July 6, indicate he is expected to undergo surgery and will play no further part in the tournament.


On the pitch, England had taken a 3-2 victory over Mexico, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice and Julián Quiñones adding a goal for the hosts before halftime.
