 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.

Trump unveils $100 bill featuring his signature as new currency design moves forward

The new design shows Trump’s signature alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s signature. Traditionally, U.S. paper currency has displayed the signatures of the Treasury secretary and the treasurer of the United States.

Officials previously described the change as part of a commemoration of the nation’s 250th anniversary. The addition of Trump’s signature is separate from a larger effort by some lawmakers to create a new $250 commemorative bill featuring Trump’s portrait.

A proposal to place Trump’s image on currency faces legal challenges because current law generally prohibits portraits of living individuals from appearing on U.S. money. Existing rules require people featured on currency to be deceased, though lawmakers have introduced legislation that would create an exception for current and former presidents.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said he does not view the idea of adding Trump’s portrait to a commemorative bill as inappropriate and noted that early design preparations have been considered in case such legislation moves forward.
