The Senate has announced that its National Security Summit on strengthening Nigeria’s security architecture will hold from Oct. 12 to Oct. 13.
The Senate President, Sen. Godswill Akpabio announced the dates during plenary on Tuesday in Abuja.
Akpabio said the summit, entitled “Strengthening Nigeria’s National Security Architecture: Innovation, Collaboration and Resilience in a Changing World,” would commence at 9 a.m. daily.
He said the summit would hold at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, and provide an opportunity for stakeholders to deliberate on strengthening Nigeria’s security architecture.
Akpabio urged senators to contribute to discussions on measures that would enable Nigerians to live safely and return to their farms without fear.
He also called on security agencies to participate in the summit and contribute to discussions aimed at improving national security.
