The Nigerian Army and its Turkish counterpart have pledged to strengthen military bilateral relations to tackle terrorism.

This was made known, yesterday, when the Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Hidaye Bayraktar, visited the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen Faruk Yahaya, at the Army Headquarters, Abuja. 

Bayraktar stated that the purpose of the visit was to improve upon the existing relationship between the two countries and to assist Nigeria in its fight against terrorism.

He averred that, like Nigeria, Turkey had equally faced security challenges, pointing out that the Defence Corporations of both countries should come into mutual agreement to curtail the activities of terrorists in both countries.
