Mr Shehu who was a guest on Channels TVโs Sunday Politics, said this while giving some insight into the gains from President Muhammadu Buhariโs just-concluded trip from Istanbul.
He added that Turkey is an experienced nation as regards tackling insecurity and it is ready to donate equipment for Nigeria.
โTurkey with their experience in weapons manufacturing and technology and all of that, theyโve handled matters that we are dealing with for a long time so thereโs a lot we can learn from them and from the engagements, it is clear that we have got that partner that we needed that would help Nigeria.
โThey are donating equipment, we are buying some and we hope that as soon as we go into the new year, some activities will start,โ he said.
He also explained that discussions around securing Nigeria were priotised during President Buhariโs trip to Turkey.
โAt the center of all of the Presidentโs engagements in Turkey is the issue of securing Nigerians and making Nigeria safe,โ he said.
President Buhari returned from Istanbul on Sunday evening after a three-day summit.
His return coincided with reports of the gruesome killing of at least 38 persons in various communities in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
While the President has condemned the killing and assured people of the state of intensified security in the area, his aide has also assured Nigerians of improved security following its new partnership with Turkey.
The area of trade and investment is not excluded, as the Presidentโs aide also said a number of investors are coming into the country soon.
