The Turkish High Commissioner to Nigeria, Hakan Cakil, disclosed this while hosting the vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Shehu Sani yesterday July 28th.
“We have formally and verbally made our demand to the Nigerian government through the Foreign Affairs Minister. My country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has spoken to Mr. Geoffrey Onyema on this. We are requesting for the close down of all the 17 schools. All the schools in Nigeria belong to the Gulen movement and not the Turkish government. They are using the schools to recruit followers for terrorism. This is threatening the peace in our country as they are using funds they are generating in Nigeria for terrorism. Gulen is a terrorist organization using rhetoric of dialogue, peace and partnership to deceive people. It is being presented as a kind of Muslim missionary but they are abusing the religion. They misled the public by putting Turkey in the name of their school. We don’t have schools in Nigeria, we have in other countries but not in Nigeria. Gulen movement staged a coup and they failed. Investigations prior to the coup attempt had revealed that the followers of the Gulen group infiltrated into various state structures including the police, army and judiciary.”he said Reacting to the allegations, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Turkish International Colleges, Cemal Yigit in a telephone chat with DailyTrust, denied the claims made by the ambassador and said it was a deliberate attempt by the Turkish government to smear the image of the colleges “I am not aware of the information but it is possible since that is how they do the defamation campaign. It is so unfortunate that the smear attack is even reaching Nigeria. Nigeria is a sovereign country and it is as if the Turkish Ambassador has the luxury of giving Nigerian authorities instructions on the place which employed about 2,000 Nigerians. Let me say that the NTIC, Nizamiye Hospital, Nigeria Turkish Nile University under the First Surat Group of Companies are privately invested here by private investors. These groups of companies have nothing to do with the Turkish government and they are non-governmental and non-political companies. Their responsibility is to the Nigerian authorities. The schools and hospitals are open; there is no way they could be closed. This is just misinformation disseminated by the Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria.”

Saying they're using schools in Nigeria for terrorism is a big accusation!!!!! The schools should be taken over by our government. Innocent people can't suffer for one man's mistake, muchless, it will affect our already messed up economy if 17 international schools are closed!
Parents una de hear so? Action!
BOLLOCKS!!
Asshole Erdogan is pushin his demented luck too far.
The confused fuck is now seeing himself as the resurrector of the Ottoman Empire. Hope the west in a RARE collabo with Russia pull a Gaddaffi on his pompous ass.
If i hear. Close down 17 schools. The people that are working there where do you want them to sustain. Tuface, Wizkid, Olamide Are Original Musicians But Timi Dakolo Is Not - Majek Fashek

An enquiry should be launched instead of people looking their jobs. Things are hard enough as it is.
LEAVE THEM ALONE!!

Hmmm
And ur useless brain thinks it will be better if the schools are closed, u can hate me, i don't care, but be smart at least.bitch
Erdogan playing serious Politics.
He can't tell us what to do. Where we'll the teachers and administrators in those 17 schools go to???
They "demand".....the choice of words is insulting. Request is more like it.....your talking to a nation not your slaves
Just like that
Eva Da Diva...
Nigeria is a sovereign state and can't be instructed or directed on what to do...Is there any allegations of terrorism against this group within our borders or have they gone against the laid down rules and regulations governing their establishment?if no,then the schools will still run like any other school.Erdogan can't run Nigeria like he does for Turkey.We are an Independent state governed by laws and not of men...Olajide
Good for them...
I am seeing another Gaddaffi stunt being pulled. This man thinks he owns turkey.
Onyx, you sef don dey call person "B". You dey upgrade abi?
See why you were almost lynched.
EWU
We should equally pay attention to his message, he said the Turks do not have a school in Nigeria so maybe the schools should be renamed to avoid implying what they are not.

This is just like Nigerian govt instructing Turkish government to close the investment of Nigerians in Turkey,this is pure super story,they better learn how to solve their domestic problems and stop bugging a country that is ravaged by poverty,unemployment and hunger
Exactly!
Olajide, you said it all..

@ONYX good advise. Instead of shutting it down. Turkey should sell the school to Nigeria.
The should sell the school to Nigerian government instead of shutting it down completely.....just an advice
When they want to execute Nigerians in their country for drug trafficking and Nigerian government pleads with them to stop and deport them, they dont listen. Now they want Nigeria to listen to them. Stmcheew
May God purniab anyone wey won tackle NTIC, God bless SURAT Group
