Buhari Summons Emergency Security Meeting on Monday

Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari has convened an emergency meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) for Monday in Abuja.

A release on Sunday by presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, stated that the president would meet with security chiefs at the State House, Abuja, to further review and strengthen security network in the country.

Those expected at the meeting include the Chief of Defence Staff, the three service chiefs, Inspector-General of Police, Director-General of Department of State Service, Director of Military Intelligence, among other top military and security chiefs.

Buhari, who was initially scheduled to inaugurate the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) new Technology and Innovation Complex, has put that on hold to receive briefs from the security chiefs, and interject on areas that need more attention.
The inauguration of the NASENI complex will hold on a later date.
