The House of Representatives will hold a security summit at a yet-to-be-disclosed date to explore novel ways of ending the escalating reign of terror in Nigeria.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajuddeen Abbas disclosed this on Monday during plenary, the first in 2024, in Abuja.
Abbas said the upcoming summit on security would allow relevant stakeholders to brainstorm on how best to decisively deal with the distressing situation.
According to him, the conventional approaches to security are no longer effective to combat the growing threats.
“It is time to harness our collective expertise, to break the silos that have hindered our progress, and to chart a new course towards peace and stability,” the Speaker said.
The Speaker urged President Bola Tinubu to demand greater accountability from service chiefs amid the mounting insecurity.
“I implore the President not to shy away from making the tough decisions. If necessary, we must not hesitate to enact changes within our security apparatus, for the cost of inaction is far too great to bear,” he said.
