Senate Reconstitutes Security, Airforce, National Planning Committees
Amid renewed national security challenges, the Senate has announced a major shake-up of several standing committees, fulfilling its earlier pledge to reconstitute the committee on National Security and Intelligence.
The announcement was made during plenary on Tuesday by the Senate Selection Committee chaired by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
Under the new arrangement, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi of Kebbi State is now named Chairman of the Senate committee on National Security and Intelligence. He previously headed the committee on National Planning.
The Senate also restructured the committee on Livestock and animal husbandry, appointing Senator Shehu Buba of Bauchi State as its new chairman. Senator Buba was last week removed as Chairman of the committee on National Security and Intelligence.
In a related adjustment, Senator Mustafa Musa from Yobe State has been appointed Chairman of the committee on National Planning.
