 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...

NIGERIAN WOMAN DECLARED MISSING BY FAMILY FOUND IN QATAR HOSPITAL. (PHOTO).


 Nigerian woman declared missing by family found in Qatar hospital


The 37-year-old Nigerian woman whose family raised alarm that she disappeared after arriving in Doha, Qatar, has been found safe in a hospital.


The woman, identified as Saratu Jibo, had travelled from Lagos to Doha aboard Qatar Airways flight QR1408 but became unreachable after arriving in the country.


Her family said she failed to contact them and she could not be located by the person designated to pick her up from the airport.


Her brother, Jonathan Jibo, raised alarm and appealed for help in finding her.


Jibo disclosed that his sister was travelling to Qatar for the first time and did not have friends in the country who could immediately assist in tracing her. 


Her accommodation had reportedly been arranged and paid for months before the journey, while a designated pick-up person was waiting at the airport but could not locate her.


The woman, who had worked at Lagos airport for nearly 12 years, was expected to commence a new job in Doha weeks after her arrival.


As concern grew over her whereabouts, her family sought assistance from the Nigerian Embassy in Qatar, Qatar Airways and other relevant authorities.


The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority also became involved after its Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, began efforts to establish what happened to her after she left the airport.


Earlier checks confirmed that she arrived in Doha, collected her luggage and exited the airport, but questions remained over where she went afterwards.


However, her brother Jibo confirmed on Sunday, September 6, that his sister had been located.


According to him, the woman became ill after arriving in Qatar and was subsequently taken from the airport to a hospital, where she was eventually found.


“Good news… My sister has been found today, she was sick and was taken to the hospital from the airport,” Jibo said in an update shared on X.


Jibo expressed appreciation to everyone who helped amplify the search, particularly the Nigerian Embassy in Doha, Qatar Airways and Achimugu.


He also thanked Nigerians and other social media users who shared the appeal.
