Lawmakers expressed concern over:


Increasing attacks on rural communities

Provide detailed security updates nationwide


Explain ongoing counter-insurgency strategies


Account for recent high-profile attacks


Outline immediate measures to restore public confidence


PUBLIC CONCERN GROWS


The development comes amid heightened national anxiety following repeated incidents of mass abductions and armed attacks in different parts of Nigeria.


Parents, community leaders, and civil society groups have continued to call for stronger intelligence coordination and improved protection of vulnerable communities and schools.


CONCLUSION


The National Assembly’s action signals increasing legislative pressure on Nigeria’s security architecture to deliver measurable results in addressing insecurity.

Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso , has reportedly threatened to leave the Nigeria Democratic Congress following a fresh dispute over party tickets in Kano State.
