The House of Representatives has set up a committee to find solutions to the security challenges Nigeria is facing.
The 40-Man adhoc Committee would brainstorm and come up with a blueprint to be submitted to the President, which would address the security challenges.
The Speaker House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila said the committee comprising 10 Principal Officers and 30 other members would come up with the document in the next three weeks.
He said; “Members would sit down for the next two to three weeks and come up with a comprehensive proposal to stem the tide of insecurity in the country.”
Security at airports
Meanwhile, the House has urged the Inspector General of Police and other Security operatives to beef up security at the Nation’s airports to prevent breaches.
It also urged the security agencies to ensure the release of the abducted people at the Kaduna Airport and fish out the bandits that carried out the unfortunate attack.
Adopting a motion sponsored by Musa Mohammed Pali, a member from Bauchi State, the Lawmakers also invited the Minister of Aviation to brief the Committee on Aviation on how the bandits gained entrance into the Kaduna airport and how to prevent future occurrences of the attack.
On 6th March, 2021, bandits invaded the staff quarters of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) at Kaduna airport and kidnapped about 11 people.
