President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday, assured the Turkish Government of Nigeria’s readiness to sustain the bilateral agreement reached between Nigeria and Turkey.

According to him, the agreements are on education, health, and military collaboration to fight terrorism and insecurity.

Akpabio promised that the 10th Senate would do everything humanly possible to ensure that the age long bilateral relations and collaboration in critical sectors continued in the overall interest of both countries.

He stated this while receiving the Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Hidayet Bayraktar, in Abuja.

Akpabio said: “On behalf of the leadership of the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I welcome you to the Senate, we are very happy and delighted to receive you and your team in the Senate.

“Nigeria and Turkey have a very cordial bilateral relationship in the areas of education and military.

Both countries are currently being faced with insecurity and terrorism, but you have the experience and that is why you have been able to deal with it decisively.”

He stressed that no nation can do it alone, as there is a need for cooperation and collaboration in the area of healthcare and other sectors and not only in military hardware.

“We need each other to overcome our security challenges and I commend the Turkish Parliament for standing by its people to fight terrorism and insecurity,” he said.

Akpabio emphasized the need for the people to be united to fight terrorism and insecurity in Africa.
