In a renewed effort against insecurity across the country, the leaders of the National Assembly (NASS) have agreed to meet President Muhammadu Buhari and the service chiefs.
The ninth Senate, marking its one year anniversary on Thursday, June 11, reached the consensus to take the bull by the horn amid alarming rises in killing and attacks on villages in some states.
Legit.ng gathers that Senator Abubakar Kyari representing Borno North constituency moved the motion mandating the NASS leadership to meet with the president.
The upper chamber, in its resolution, also resolved to mandate the security operatives to urgently secure areas around the Lake Chad.
It would be recalled that scores of villagers numbering over 70 were killed by men suspected to be Boko Haram insurgents on Tuesday afternoon, June 9, during a fresh attack in Borno state.
The attack, which was carried out in Faduma Koloram village in Gubio local government area of Borno, was said to have been unleashed on helpless locals around 12pm.

During a plenary on Thursday, June 4, the federal lawmakers at the lower chambers raised eyebrows against the rise in attacks in some states.
