The Senate on Tuesday resumed plenary after five weeks of recess and headed for a closed-door session which lasted for about an hour. Speaking with the media, Sen. Godiya Akwashiki, Chairman, Committee on Media and Public Affairs, said the session was held to discuss five pressing issues, with the security challenges facing the country as a priority. “ And what we have agreed today is to set aside a day to discuss the security issues in the plenary, and the resolution will be taken. “And we have agreed that we will engage the executive arm of government after the resolution of that special sitting on security. “ So we cannot sit as a senate and overlook as our people are being killed as cows day-in-day-out, so we have agreed to take the security issue seriously.
