 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.

ANSEC APPROVES 'SOLUDOZIE ANAMBRA' FRAMEWORK, TAKES DECISIONS ON EROSION AND OTHER MATTERS


The 18th Meeting of the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) for Solution 2.0 held at the Light House, Awka, on Monday, November 9, 2026. The Council deliberated and resolved as follows:


1. GOVERNMENT URGES COMMUNITY ACTION AGAINST EROSION


Council reiterated that government intervention on erosion will continue to prioritise communities that demonstrate proactive environmental responsibility.


Communities that engage in sand excavation, indiscriminate felling of trees, deforestation, dumping of refuse in drainage channels, channeling of stormwater onto roads, and other prohibited and prosecutable practices will not receive priority attention. Perpetrators of such acts will be prosecuted.


2. OGBODI COMMUNITY TO BE RECONNECTED


Council directed that Ogbodi in Amichi Community, cut off by erosion, be reconnected within two weeks through palliative measures, while scoping for a permanent solution commences immediately.


3. COUNCIL APPROVES SOLUDOZIE ANAMBRA FRAMEWORK


Council approved the Soludozie Anambra Framework, an organised and inclusive platform under the Public-Private-Community Partnership (PPCP) model.


The initiative is designed to provide a structured channel for Ndi Anambra at home and in the diaspora, and other well-meaning partners, who wish to partner with the State Government for development.


Under the framework, government involvement will be generally limited to documentation, recognition, and support where solicited. Donors and partners will directly manage their funds and projects.


The initiative aims to position Anambra as a global model of collective governance and inclusive development and to accelerate the state's development trajectory.
