The Nigerian Senate has announced plans to host a two-day National Security Summit, aimed at confronting the country’s growing security challenges with a multi-stakeholder approach.
The summit, according to Senate leadership, will bring together representatives of the Federal Government, state governors, security experts, and traditional rulers from across the nation to develop coordinated strategies for combating insecurity.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio emphasized the urgent need for national collaboration in addressing threats ranging from terrorism and banditry to kidnapping and communal violence.
