President Goodluck Jonathan and
Senate President, Sen. David Mark
Senator Mark, in his welcome speech
said actions of the Boko Haram sect are a complete declaration of war
geared towards undermining the nation’s sovereignty.
Meantime, the Senate has referred
President Jonathan’s $1 billion loan request to fight insurgency to its
committees on Foreign, Finance, and Local Debt to report back within one week.
Senator Mark in his speech also said
the Senate was waiting for Mr. President’s action on the report of the just
concluded National Conference which was convoked to discuss and suggest ways of
resolving perceived structural defects in the polity.
The Senate President further tasked
the President to ensure the 2015 Appropriation Bill gets to the legislative
chamber before the end of the month to enable the lawmakers pass it into law
before January 2015.
He noted that the escalation of violence
and the heinous crimes being carried out on daily basis by the insurgents
including the declaration of a caliphate had reached alarming proportions.
