The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan; and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, have decried the rising spate of insecurity in Nigeria, warning that the existence of the country is under threat.
Both Lawan and Gbajabiamila spoke on Wednesday during a summit organised by the House’ Special Committee on Security chaired by the speaker.
Gbajabiamila said thousands of memoranda and other submissions had been received and reviewed, which would form part of the summit’s report and recommendations.
Lawan, in his goodwill message, said that Nigeria is at a crossroads today because the very essence of the existence of the country is under serious threat.
The Senate President also called for a review of the laws guiding procurements by the security agencies. He also appealed to the National Assembly to work with the executive and look at how to review the architecture of the nation’s security system for better performance.
