Insecurity: House to Work with Service Chiefs to End Boko Haram War
The House of Representatives made a U-turn in its earlier stand when it promised to work with the under fire services chiefs to end the war against Boko Haram insurgents and other criminal elements in the country.
Before the meeting went into a closed-door session, the Speaker of the House, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, told the service chiefs that Nigerians are on the necks of their representatives over the security situation in the country.stated this at the meeting of the joint House Committees on Defence, Army, Navy and Air Force with the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff and the Chief of Air Staff.
“So, it was a natural reaction to what was going on in the country today. Back home, our constituents are on our necks. People are dying every day, they are dying callously in ways that you can only find in countries without security forces. But we know that you guys are doing a lot. The Speaker expressed hope that moving forward, things are going to get better, stressing that the basic issues confronting the armed forces are funding, equipment, and recruitment of personnel.
