The Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has said the legislative house is not happy about the growing security challenges facing the country, leading to loss of lives and valuables in many

states.

“We believe that the head of the security architecture in Zamfara State, being the Commissioner of Police, can do more than they have already done. Reacting to a question on whether soldiers could be deployed, Omo-Agege said, “Absolutely. On a good day, it is not something we would encourage because as much as possible, you would want to keep the military in the barracks, but because of the exigencies of the moment, we have no choice but to encourage that.

The lawmaker, who was represented at the event by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr Alex Onwuadiamu, said adopting the approach would optimally guarantee improved performance by both chambers of the National Assembly. “It is essential to establish a non-partisan bi-camera mechanism towards achieving a more harmonious, productive and transparent National Assembly.
