We Will Address Nigeria’s Secrity Challenges – Speaker Abbas Vows

He added that the capacity of Nigeria’s Armed Forces would be strengthened to respond to the challenges.

A statement on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the Speaker on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, said the Speaker made the pledge while declaring open a two-day post-inauguration retreat for members of the House Committee on Defence, jointly organised by the Committee and the National Defence College in Abuja.

According to him, security is one of the priority areas highlighted in the Legislative Agenda of the 10th House, saying it is a collective responsibility to ensure that the armed forces and police are well-equipped and adequately funded to tackle multiple security challenges facing Nigeria.
