The Service chiefs will appear before the Senate on Thursday to brief the upper chamber on the steps taken to address Nigeria’s security situation.
The briefing had been scheduled for Monday but was postponed due to the National Security Council meeting.
Ahmad Lawan, president of the Senate mentioned this on Tuesday at the plenary session in Abuja.
Last Tuesday, the senate in a resolution, summoned the service chiefs for a briefing on the measures in place to curb insecurity.
“Today, the National Security Council is continuing with its meeting that started last week. Therefore, the invited security heads will not be able to come for the briefing.
“We are not sure if they will finish their meeting today (Tuesday). We assume it could spill to Wednesday too.
“So to be on the side of caution, we have now fixed the date for the briefing to be Thursday, May 6.
“I want to appeal to all of us that the briefing will take from the service chiefs and other security agencies and will be very crucial for us to be properly informed, properly guided.
“And if there is any request for supplementary budget, we should be able to understand why we should consider and approve such request,’’ he said.
The motion was on the activities of bandits and Boko Haram terrorists in some Local Government Areas of Niger and other parts of Nigeria.
