The House of Representatives says Nigeria’s security leadership should step aside if the worsening insecurity situation continues within a defined timeframe.
The House of Representatives has called on Nigeria’s service chiefs to “honourably resign” if the country’s deteriorating security situation continues beyond a clearly defined period.
The position of the lawmakers comes amid persistent concerns over insecurity across different parts of the country, with pressure mounting on security institutions to demonstrate measurable progress.
The statement from the House signals growing concern within the legislature over the effectiveness of ongoing security operations and the broader state response to violent incidents and instability.
While the lawmakers did not specify the exact timeframe referenced, the directive places renewed attention on accountability within the nation’s security architecture.
The call also reflects increasing institutional scrutiny of efforts to address insecurity, which remains one of the central national issues confronting the government.
No further official actions or responses from the service chiefs were included at the time of reporting.
