The Senate President Ahmad Lawan in his ruling said every part of the country has one story or the other to tell over insecurity.
He said based on the situation it was the duty of the Senate to hold a national summit, while calling on the executive to address the situation as fast as possible.
Lawan said “The executive arm should also be involved because we have to work together to address the situation. The various interventions at the end of the day will bring the desired results.
“Some of our colleagues in their presentations suggested the convocation of a robust security summit on the security situation of the country. The national committee on security will address the situation.”
The House of Representatives had also frowned at the security situation and equally called on the security chiefs to address the issue.
