President Muhammadu Buhari will on Thursday address a joint session of the National Assembly on his administration’s efforts to address the security challenges ravaging the country.

This was disclosed by the President’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, in a tweet via her Twitter handle, @Laurestar, on Monday.

The tweet read, “President @MBuhari will address a joint session of the National Assembly (@nassnigeria) on Thursday, December 10, 2020.”

Recall that the House of Representatives had last week Tuesday invited the President to appear on the floor of the parliament and explain the rising spate of insecurity in the country.

The decision was based on a motion of urgent national importance moved by the Borno State caucus on the last weekend’s killing of farmers in the state.

Recall also that the Senate had in a separate resolution asked the President to sack his service chiefs.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, said last Wednesday that the President agreed to address Nigerians, through the federal lawmakers, on the security challenges confronting the nation.
