Buhari To Meet 109 Senators Behind Closed Doors

The Senates on Tuesday mandated its leadership to schedule an appointment with President Muhammadu Buhari to enable all 109 Senators meet with him in a closed session to discuss security matters in the country. This was just as the chamber resolved to summon the Service Chiefs to brief lawmakers on steps taken so far to address the rising spate of insecurity in the country.

It also mandated the Joint Committees on Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security to engage the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, National Security Adviser, Babagana Munguno, Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Salihi Magashi (Rtd) and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, on the regional implications of the recent development in Chad.
