The House of Representatives at the weekend applauded the new Service Chiefs’ resolve to harmonise efforts toward addressing various security challenges bedevilling the country.

Chairman, House Committee on Defence, Hon. Babajimi Benson gave the commendation via a statement titled: ‘House Committee on Defence commends Service Chiefs’, made available to Nigerian Tribune.

“The news report that the Service Chiefs have agreed to work more jointly under the leadership of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor is a welcome development.

“As a nation, Nigeria’s lack of joined-up and strategic cohesion amongst its many security outfits has been a major weakness in our security landscape.

“It is therefore gratifying to see a new resolve by the military services to work jointly together as the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

“This deep cooperation will strengthen command and control as well as effective leadership oversight of operations in the field.

“The House of Representatives Committee of Defence will continue to provide all the requisite legislative support needed by our gallant soldiers and their Commanders to ensure successful operations and this unity of command posture is a step in the right direction.

“I commend the new Service Chiefs for their commitment to the nation’s security and I appreciate their determination to embrace global best practices to further strengthen our security architecture,” Hon. Benson noted.
