The Nigerian Senate
has assured that its report on the nation’s insecurity will be ready next week.
Chairman of the
Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Security Challenges, Sen. Yahaya Abdullahi (APC-
Kebbi), on Wednesday, requested a week extension to enable the panel conclude
work.
Abdullahi told his
colleagues that more time was needed to allow further interaction with the
Nigeria Police and the National Security Adviser (NSA) Babagana Munguno.
“We would have been
able to conclude and lay the report today, but for the interventions that
became necessary”, NAN quoted him as saying.
“When we had to
consider some extra interaction with the NPF and also with the National
Security Adviser, who as at the earlier time he came was out of the country and
he only came back late.
“I seek the
indulgence of my colleagues to please kindly extend the time for our presentation
of this report to next week, I so plead” Senate Leader said.
President of Senate
Ahmad Lawan, expressed satisfaction with the committee’s performance.
“You are putting a
lot of hard work and plenty hours to producing this report, having met with all
the security agencies and other stakeholders.
“If what you’re
requesting is a week for us to have the report enriched by further interactions
with the Nigeria Police, I think this Senate will be glad to give you that one
week”.
He urged the
committee to come up with a solid report with solutions, adding that it would
be the contribution of the Senate “to unraveling the intricacies that have made
our security outfits to be overwhelmed at the moment”.
“So, you have one
more week to finish your report,” Lawan added.
Last month, Lawan
and other National Assembly principal officers met President Muhammadu Buhari
in Aso Villa over the insecurity in Nigeria.
