Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Sunday said any officer found short of expectations should be shown the way out if he refuses to go. Lawan, who briefed State House reporters after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said the National Assembly was ready to receive supplementary budget to tackle the security challenge, including the recruitment of more personnel in various security agencies in the country.

He said the resources must be provided to empower the security agencies to fight the Boko Haram in the North East, banditry and other security challenges across the country.

Lawan, who said the security situation in the country especially in the northern part of the country required that more resources be given to the security agencies, added that the heads of these agencies especially the service chiefs, must sit up and address the issues within timeline.

“We can’t just go on without any time frame for dealing with these issues,” he added. Lawan said: “You know the country is facing very deep and serious security challenges and I have come to discuss with Mr. president what we discussed previously that we should do whatever it takes to improve the security situation in the country.

“And we believe that the senate and indeed the National Assembly is positively disposed to receiving even supplementary budget purposely to address the fundamental needs of the security agencies of our country so that we are able to empower them, enable them to fight the Boko Haram in the North East, banditry and other security challenges across the country.

“Secondly, in the senate, we believe we need to provide more resources for recruitment by the security agencies: Army, the Navy, Air Force, Police, immigration, the paramilitary generally. “We need to have more manpower or personnel and this is not something you get on platter of gold. “Whoever wants to make an omelette will break an egg.

“Section 14 subsection 2b of the constitution of the Federal Republic Nigeria is very categorical and crystal clear, that the purpose of government shall be to provide for security and welfare of the people. “Therefore, we must, we have no luxury of any option other than to address the security challenges more than any other thing.

“We provided for N500 billion intervention for COVID for the revised budget, and various agencies, the CBN, the NNPC and the IOCs provided for palliatives and some kind of interventions for the COVID challenge. “I think we must tell ourselves the truth, that the security situation in the country especially in the northern part of the country, require that we give much more resources to the security agencies.

“And those who are heading these agencies especially the service chiefs, must sit up, in fact we must have milestones and timelines on how we are going to deal with this. “We can’t just go on without any time frame for dealing with these issues.

“If after we provide some support and someone is found short of expectations, he should be shown the way out if he refuses to go. Because the lives of Nigerians are so precious and therefore must be more important than any other considerations or sentiments. I believe that today, the most essential thing in government is to address the security challenges

Recommendation or just normal talk?

Is SP begging the service chiefs to do their job?

These people don't even know the function of the position they are holding...

Well it's just that you senators claim to be elected, else the Nigerian public would have recommended that you guys all go too for gross non-performance, cos you have had no value to society order than being a rubber stamp in the hands of the executive especially when loans are to be taken. Ur love for considering all Buhari's loan requests is as though you are bank marketers

This is the only thing they care about Lawan, who said the security situation in the country especially in the northern part of the country required that more resources be given to the security agencies

More money.
Supplementary budget all the time.
Since the days of Dasuki, insecurity has become a permanent Atm, for depleting the federal account.

Our president knows all this but is afraid.


They sack nobody so that non can leak their numerouse secrete.

Too late if you ask me.

Both you and Buhari are very ma.d

Say no to old leaders.

Together we can make Nigeria better



God bless Nigeria.

No more retirement for the service chiefs!

Talking administration.

Sack empty heads and employ a new set of empty. Nothing changes

Same story everyday. No tangible action. Tired of this talk talk

Hmmm, those service chiefs don charm Buhari

I guess that's the outcome of Buhari and Lawan meeting at Aso Rock..

Senate of rubber stamp....you need more money for looting...it will be given by Buhari... it's an open invitation to go out for another loan.

Those who have mastered how to run the 'insecurity business' and those who are useful in the JIHAD war, cannot be sacked like that. Besides, do you want a southerner to come and expose their secrets.

Is that so

great im now confident in this administration going forward

Who will send them off? Lifeless Buhari? All of the service chiefs deserves to go... Even Buhari too

But which among the current service chief is performing.

All these rubber stamp senators. Come out plain and task buhari to sack these guys.

Can go by himself, by you or by the president?
Confused in damage control.

Is there any performing service chief in Nigeria?. I think the senate is one of our problems in Nigeria.

As if any arm of the government has been preforming.... See Rubber stamp talking as if dey are not also playing by the rule book of the cabals

Name. Them?

audio speech.
even the useless ass-licking Senate itself isn't performing.

Nigeria can never be better. Even till the next 100 years. It is not a curse but a reality. It is said that from crawling, a child who will end up a beggar is known. 60 years gone, yet nothing to write home about

Says you or Buhari?
