 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...

 Senate confirms Jay Clayton as next director of national intelligence after months-long delay

 The Senate has confirmed Jay Clayton as the next director of national intelligence, ending a months-long standoff over the position and clearing the way for President Donald Trump’s nominee to take over the nation’s top intelligence role.

Clayton was approved in a 51-47 party-line vote as lawmakers continue debating the future of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, a key national security program that expired after Democratic concerns over the administration’s handling of the intelligence leadership vacancy.

The confirmation follows the resignation of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in May. Trump appointed Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte as acting DNI, a move that drew criticism from Democrats who questioned his intelligence background.

The appointment also complicated efforts to renew FISA authorities, with most Senate Democrats opposing further action on the program at the time. Some Republicans expressed frustration as well, arguing that a bipartisan agreement on reauthorization had been disrupted by the timing of the leadership change.

After Clayton was nominated, Trump delayed his confirmation hearing until he chose to replace Clayton as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York was confirmed.

During his confirmation hearing, Clayton faced questions from lawmakers over several issues, including whether he would acknowledge that former President Joe Biden won the 2020 election and his decision to issue subpoenas to journalists at The New York Times related to reporting on security concerns involving Trump’s proposed Air Force One replacement.

Some senators who previously supported Clayton expressed concerns following the hearing, saying they were disappointed with some of his responses while acknowledging areas where they agreed with his views on protecting classified information and maintaining independence in intelligence work.

Clayton advanced through the Senate Intelligence Committee and later passed a procedural vote before receiving final confirmation.

Republicans hope Clayton’s confirmation will help revive negotiations over FISA Section 702, a foreign surveillance authority that expired in June. The Senate could consider the issue before lawmakers leave for the August recess, but the program is unlikely to be restored until at least September because the House has already adjourned for the break.
