President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government must act now on the issues of worsening insecurity in the country.
Lawan stated this in his concluding remark on a Motion considered during plenary yesterday into the recent kidnapping of students at the Government Science School, Kankara, in Katsina State.
He said the National Assembly would continue to engage the Executive arm of government until appropriate action is taken to address the growing insecurity in parts of the country.
Earlier, coming under Order 42 and 52 of the Senate Standing Rules, Senator Bello Mandiya (APC Katsina South) noted with sadness the recent terrorist attack and abduction of students at the Secondary school by gunmen on Friday, as widely reported in both local and international media.
The Senate, however, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to consider and implement the recommendations of the Senate’s Adhoc Committee on Nigeria Security Challenges dated March, 17th 2020 and Senate Resolutions therefrom, as a holistic response to the mounting security challenges across the country.
