Senator AKPABIO promised to support soldiers to achieve national peace and security at all times.

In his brief remarks, the Chairman, of the Senate Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Matters, JIMOH IBRAHIM, charged the leadership of the NDC, to be more concerned about local security.

He noted that National security shouldn’t be the focus, rather individual security should take pre-eminence in the fight against insurgency.
