President Muhammadu Buhari will on Thursday address a joint session of the National Assembly.
This was disclosed by the President’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Ms. Lauretta Onochie, on Monday, on her confirmed Twitter handle @Laurestar.
“President @MBuhari will address a joint session of the National Assembly (@nassnigeria) on Thursday 10th December 2020,” Ms. Onochie wrote.
This is coming a few days after the House of Representatives passed a motion inviting the president to address the lawmakers on the deteriorating security situation in the country.
Specifically, the House of Representatives had last week Tuesday invited the President to appear on the floor of the parliament to offer explanation on the rising spate of insecurity in the country.
This followed a motion of urgent national importance brought by the Borno State caucus over last weekend’s killing of farmers in the state.
The Senate had also in a separate resolution asked the President to sack his service chiefs.
It would be recalled that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, was in the State House last week to brief the President about the invitation extended to him by the House of Representatives.
After the meeting, Gbajabiamila told State House correspondents that the President had agreed to honour the invitation.
