Reps To Submit Resolutions On Security To NSA.

House of Representatives has urged the Clerk of the Green Chamber to compile its resolutions on security for transmission to the Office of the National Security Adviser on the worsening security situation in the country.

The House took the decision following the consideration of a motion sponsored by the Minority Leader of the House, Kingsley Chinda, and 28 others during Wednesday’s plenary session.

Speaking on the motion, Kingsley Chinda who represents Obio-Akpor Federal Constituency, lamented the state of security across the country in the past few years, which he said had impacted negatively on the cost of living, especially the cost of food items, adding that despite the resolutions by the House, nothing has happened by way of execution to mitigate the attendant consequences.

In his words, many Nigerians would be subjected to food insecurity if nothing is done to address the challenges of insecurity in the country.

Following a voice vote on the motion, Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, who presided over the plenary session mandated the Clerk of the House “To compile all House Resolutions on security and forward the compilation to the office of the Security Adviser and the Committee on Legislative Compliance for action.
