Babajimi Benson
Udora Orizu writes that the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Defence, Hon. Babajimi Benson and his counterparts in security committees are set to screen the new service chiefs as requested by President Muhammadu Buhari
With the continuous rise in kidnapping, banditry, terrorism, farmers/herders crisis in the country, both chambers of the National Assembly commenced legislative activities of the year 2021, addressing the deteriorating security situation of the country.
The height of insecurity in the land clearly showed that the Service Chiefs are not doing enough to curb the menace and this has brought about the calls by lawmakers and other stakeholders for their sack or resignation.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that the Green Chamber would focus its attention on bills and motions that would improve the ease of doing business and unlock economic potential.
Gbajabiamila, in an address to welcome his colleagues from the Christmas and New Year break during the resumption of plenary on Wednesday, said the House would make frantic efforts to surpass its achievements of last year.
He said though the Legislature does not have the control of the various security agencies, it would ensure the use of its appropriation powers to hold those responsible accountable as well as continue to collaborate with the Executive arm to improve the security situation in the country.
