The initiative, he said, was highlighted during a high-level official working visit to Ankara, Republic of Türkiye, which commenced on 26 January 2026. These discussions culminated in the signing of nine Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) covering defence, trade, education, media, technology, and allied sectors. In pursuit of deeper defence and air power cooperation, Aneke and Musa visited key pillars of Türkiye’s defence industry, including ASELSAN, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), and HAVELSAN. These visits, conducted under the Secretariat of Defence of Türkiye, he said, were complemented by high-level bilateral defence meetings. Key objectives include improving access to advanced aerospace technologies, mission-support systems, and sustainment solutions, as well as enhancing intelligence, surveillance, precision engagement, and close air support capabilities critical to joint operations across Nigeria.
