The Senate has urged President Bola Tinubu to overhaul the security architecture response to incessant attacks by bandits in the North-West and North Central regions, and constitute a task force to secure farmlands and ensure food production and security.
The lawmakers expressed concern over the worsening insecurity in the regions, with many Nigerians killed and many others languishing in captivity.
Senator Nasiru Zangon-Daura (APC, Katsina North), who sponsored the motion, lamented the failure of security agencies to combat banditry despite significant funds allocated by state governments in the North-West.
