VIDEO from Monday, 3rd of August 2015, when Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki led a delegation on a spot assessment of the situation on ground in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The delegation, the first of its kind by the leadership of the Senate since the insurgency began over 6 years ago, assured the people of Borno State and North East Nigeria in general, that the Senate will pass legislation to help restore normalcy in the zone.

The visit was mainly to enable the lawmakers to make on the spot assessments of the effects of the insurgency, empathize with the people, and reassure them that the rest of Nigeria is firmly behind them in these difficult times.

The Senate President said that the delegation will go back and brief the entire Senate and then initiate moves on what can be done to provide succour, rehabilitation, and reconstruction for the people and areas affected by the insurgency.

The Senate President also noted that a quick resolution of the insurgency would aid in getting the economic activity of the North East back on track, and the people of the region back to work.
