Bill to allow NSA recruit own staff fails second reading

A bill that would allow the National Security Adviser (NSA) to recruit permanent staff for his office with the approval of the president failed to pass second reading at the Senate at plenary on Thursday.

Senator Buba, Umar Shehu (Bauchi South) sponsored a Bill for an Act to provide a legal framework for the NSA to appoint permanent staff for his office instead of using “casual workers”.
