President Muhammadu Buhari has scheduled an emergency security meeting with the heads of the nation’s security outfits to discuss growing security concerns in the country.

The meeting is scheduled to hold on Monday, 31st October, at the presidential villa in Abuja, Naija News reports.

This development was confirmed in a statement on Sunday by the senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu.

To accommodate the emergency meeting, the President has postponed the planned commissioning of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) new Technology and Innovation Complex earlier scheduled for tomorrow.

A new date will be announced for the commissioning.

Shehu said in his statement that: “President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday meet with security chiefs in the nation’s capital, Abuja, to further review and strengthen security network in the country.

“The President, who was initially scheduled to commission the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) new Technology and Innovation Complex, will receive briefs from the security chiefs, and interject on areas that need more attention.

“The commissioning of the NASENI complex will hold on a later date.”

The emergency meeting is coming days after the United States government raised an alarm about a possible terrorist attack in Abuja, the nation’s capital city.

After the warning by the US government, UK, Canada, and Australia have also issued a security alert.
