 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...

 PLATEAU GOVT ORDERS TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF ALL SCHOOLS OVER DIPHTHERIA OUTBREAK


The Plateau State Government has ordered the immediate temporary closure of all public and private primary and secondary schools across the state effective Monday, September 7, 2026, as a preventive measure against the rising Diphtheria outbreak.


The directive issued by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, on behalf of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, affects Jos North, Wase, Jos South and Bassa LGAs where suspected cases have been reported, but applies statewide. Schools that have already resumed are to close and remain closed until further notice.


This comes as health authorities confirm a worrying spread in the state. According to the Plateau State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nicholas Baamlong, Plateau has recorded 143 suspected cases and 23 deaths in the last two weeks, with nine patients currently on admission at Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) and Plateau Specialist Hospital. Jos North is the epicenter, with Rikkos community said to be majorly affected.


Diphtheria is a highly contagious bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It primarily affects the nose, throat and sometimes the skin, and spreads through coughing, sneezing, close contact and sharing utensils or towels. Common symptoms include sore throat, fever, headache, swelling of the throat, difficulty swallowing, and a greyish membrane in the throat.


Health officials say the disease is vaccine-preventable, but children who are unvaccinated or have not completed their three doses are at higher risk of severe illness and death. The state is currently facing challenges with late presentation of patients and unavailability of diphtheria antitoxin, with treatment relying on antibiotics.


Parents and guardians are advised to keep pupils at home, maintain strict personal hygiene, avoid crowded places and seek immediate medical attention at government health facilities rather than self-medication. The government says resumption date will be communicated in due course.


Plateau state government suspends all schools resumption as  preventive measure against  spread of diphtheria.
