Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said that the Nigeria-Türkiye bilateral relations are about deliverables.
Bwala made this known on Tuesday in an interview with Arise Television in Ankara, the capital of Türkiye.
The Presidential spokesman said, “Tinubu asked how we can create economic opportunities and deal with terrorism in a timely manner? The president is all about deliverables, so it doesn’t just end in signing papers.
“The good point you you made is what has been the concern of the President, that it is not just about discussion and agreement and areas of opportunity, but on timelines, timelines and deliverables.
“In fact, that dominated the focus of the bilateral talks today, not just in the areas that we looked at like defense. We talked about defense cooperation, security, higher education, science and technology exchange in intelligence.
“If there is anything I can say about the deliberation today, that it is very easy for us to make to have understanding with countries who are interested in investing. Because if you look at Nigeria and Turkey over the years, they have been massive investment from the people and governments of Turkey and Nigeria, and they have been very proactive in that.
“So as we seek to deepen that collaboration, the emphasis has been the timelines and deliverables so that it will not end in just signing paper, but will end in the deliverables that people can see and know that there has indeed been an agreement that was scheduled to take place almost immediately.”
