The interface between security chiefs and Nigerian senators could not be held on Wednesday due to the absence of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, In9ja.com has learnt.

Recall that the Senate had last week resolved to summon security chiefs to an interactive session to discuss possible solutions to the worsening security in the country.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, Adetokunbo Abiru, on Tuesday announced that the meeting between the lawmakers and security chiefs will be held on Wednesday  and Thursday this week.

Unfortunately, only the Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Air Staff, Hassan Abubakar and Chief of Naval Staff, Emmanuel Ogalla, were present at the senate complex.

It was gathered that the Speaker of the House, Mr Akpabio told his colleagues that his office received an apology letter from Mr Ribadu for his absence.

The Senate President, thereafter, announced that the meeting will be postponed to Tuesday next week.
