SENATE AND SERVICE CHIEFS TO MEET OVER EMERGENCY RULE

The Senate and Service Chiefs will meet Thursday for briefing on the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States. This followed the resolution of the upper chamber to receive the security chiefs in plenary and ask for the progress achieved since the declaration of state of emergency in the northeastern states. Senate Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba said the meeting earlier scheduled for Tuesday had to be shifted till thursday November 28, following the suspension of plenary. If you remember correctly,  the state of emergency in those states was approved by the national assembly for an extension of another six months.
