 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.

 PRESIDENT TINUBU CELEBRATES CHIEF DOTUN SANUSI, PHILANTHROPIST, APC LOYALIST AND MOBILISER IN OYO 


President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Dotun Jubril Sanusi, a businessman and philanthropist, on his birthday. 

 

A statement by Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President, Information  and Strategy, says Chief Sanusi is a loyal member of All Progressives Congress, APC, and has been mobilising to ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming general elections.

 

It notes the Ibadan-born Sanusi had a successful career in the oil industry, working with multinationals such as Halliburton, Saipem, Hanover, Beckfield, and others. After retiring from his roles in other enterprises, he founded TNL Drilling Services, which has grown rapidly. He also chairs Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort in Ibadan, Oyo State.

 

“Chief Sanusi, as a businessman of note, you have demonstrated compassion, generosity and an unwavering commitment to humanity, giving back to your community roots, Ibadan and Oyo State at large. From the reports reaching me, you are also a great mentor to our youth, as shown by your establishment of ICAST School and Ilaji Soccer Academy, providing a fertile ground to develop soccer talents for recruitment by Spanish and Maltese teams.

 

I do not doubt that you are an exemplary son of Ibadan and indeed of Oyo State whose humility and kindness continue to be admired by everyone who meets you," President Tinubu says. 

 

President Tinubu in commending Sanusi says he appreciate his invaluable contributions to the party and his unalloyed personal support.

 

The President prays Almighty God to continue to grant him good health, greater accomplishments and many more fulfilling years of service to humanity.
