 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.

 SENATE STEPS IN TO CURB RESTRICTIVE LANDING FOR COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFTS DURING VIP MOVEMENT The Senate has expressed concern over the practice of imposing restricted movement on commercial arrivals at Nigerian airports whenever a VIP flight is expected, without regard to safety protocol.

The Senate Committee on Aviation has been mandated to interface with the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency NAMA, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NCAA, the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau NSIB, and the Fe...

 Re: Tokunbo Pearce & President Bola Tinubu This is not a bombshell but an eggshell flying around Tokunbo's kitchen in his Araoti Street residence. Honour and integrity are in short supply in contemporary Nigerian politics. I had hoped that Tokunbo would not cross a particular line. I have never said a word over the years about his scurrilous and spurious attacks on President Tinubu.  I feel particularly pained by this because I brought them together and I know all that Tinubu did for him. In fairness to him, the president has never brought up the matter for discussion. I was a visiting Doctoral Student and Honorary  Visiting Lecturer at the Department of English, University of Sheffield between February, 1981 and September, 1982. Tokunbo was a graduate student and we became great friends.  After a spell at the University of Buffalo, I returned to Ife later that year to defend my Doctoral thesis. Tokunbo defended his thesis in 1985 and thereafter left for America...

 FCT Minister Wike Defends N10 Million Promise to Councillors, Rejects Vote-Buying Accusations Abuja, Nigeria, The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has publicly defended his pledge of N10 million to councillors who successfully deliver their wards to President Bola Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 general elections.

 An 81-year-old Massachusetts woman survived 4 hours trapped under her vehicle in a downpour with terrible injuries.  Peggy Wilbur was at her home in Hingham, Massachusetts, when she was ran over and pinned beneath her own car after it was left in neutral. After becoming trapped by her own vehicle, unfortunately, it was going to rain.  A lot.
