The senate president, Ahmad Lawan has promised the service chiefs to promote the fight against insecurity by providing the necessary resources needed to protect the lives and property of citizens.
Lawan applauded the efforts of the service chiefs and heads of security agencies to combat the security challenges in the country.
The Service chiefs had appeared before the Senate on Thursday to brief the upper chamber on the steps taken to address Nigeria’s security situation.
Following the briefing, Lawan said: “On behalf of my colleagues, I want to commend our armed forces and other security agencies for fighting the myriad of security challenges across the country.
“In the process, some have given up their lives. We appreciate what you are doing because we know that you are doing your best with what you have at hand.
“I want to assure you and everyone that the challenges we face are taken seriously and extremely by the parliament.
“Hardly a day passes without this senate discusses one security incident or the other. And it has been so for many years, not only this session.
“We pray that at the end of this interaction, we will see better ways and means of providing the necessary resources to enable our armed forces to continue to provide security that we need to protect the lives and property of citizens to stabilise our environment for the economy to receive better investments for this country.”
