 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.

 LASG STEPS UP FIGHT AGAINST MALNUTRITION, STRENGTHENS MATERNAL, CHILD HEALTHCARE


The Lagos State Government, through Health District III, has reaffirmed its commitment to reducing malnutrition and improving maternal and child healthcare outcomes with the distribution of essential healthcare commodities to Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across Ibeju-Lekki, Eti-Osa and Epe.


 


Speaking during the distribution exercise held on Thursday at the District Headquarters, Ikoyi, the Permanent Secretary, Health District III, Dr. Monsurat Adeleke disclosed that the District has recorded significant progress in the fight against child malnutrition through the District's quarterly nutrition intervention programme. 


She added that the prevalence of wasting among children in the District has reduced from 15% to 8%, attributing the improvement to consistent government support, regular nutrition screening and effective community-based interventions.


Dr. Adeleke explained that nutrition officers at the PHCs would continue to conduct food demonstration classes for mothers and caregivers using the cooking utensils provided. 


She stated further that the District is intensifying efforts to reduce maternal mortality by strengthening the prevention and management of Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH) by distributing calibrated obstetric drapes to PHCs to enable healthcare workers to accurately measure blood loss, facilitate prompt diagnosis and improve emergency management of PPH. 


She also emphasised the importance of family planning in promoting healthy birth spacing, improving maternal health and ensuring better outcomes for mothers and their children.


 


"I am calling on residents to improve their health-seeking behaviour by visiting the nearest PHC to access these lifesaving services and to take full advantage of the comprehensive services available at PHCs because the facilities now provide quality, affordable and people-centred healthcare in line with global best practices", she said. 


In response, the Apex Nurse of Ikoyi/Obalende LCDA, Nr. Eunice Shofolahan expressed appreciation to the government for the sustained efforts in providing quality healthcare delivery to residents and promised that the healthcare workers would ensure the 


judicious use of the equipment. 


The commodities distributed included family planning commodities and consumables, cooking utensils for nutrition food demonstration classes and calibrated obstetric drapes for the prevention and management of Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH).
