 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.

 COURT SETS ASIDE LPDC'S THREE-YEAR SUSPENSION OF JOE GADZAMA, SAN


The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has set aside the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee's three-year suspension of Joe Gadzama, SAN.


Justice Obiora Egwuatu gave the order in Abuja.


Having assumed jurisdiction on the matter for review, the court granted part of the reliefs sought by Joe Gadzama, SAN, against the three-year suspension imposed on him by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC).


The Court also declared the enforcement of the disciplinary direction against him unconstitutional and raised fundamental questions about the treatment of professional disputes within Nigeria’s legal disciplinary system.


The Court further declared specifically that the implementation or enforcement of the LPDC direction against Joe Gadzama, SAN, in the absence of an effective appellate mechanism, is inconsistent with some provisions of the Constitution.


To this end, Justice Obiora Egwuatu restrained parties in the matter from implementing the direction of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee delivered on 29 July 2026, pending when the mechanism for appeal is in place.
