Nigerian House of Reps Special Security Session – Nov 26 2025
The Nigerian House of Representatives held a special plenary session dedicated entirely to national security on Wednesday, 26 November 2025. Lawmakers received security situation reports from all six geopolitical zones, debated security challenges, and worked toward adopting a formal resolution with agreed actions and timelines. This session matters to Nigerians because it represents the full chamber formally engaging with security conditions across every part of the country.
On Wednesday, 26 November 2025, the House of Representatives resumed a Special Plenary Session focused solely on national security — no regular legislative bills were listed on this day's agenda.
The session opened with structured security briefs delivered by Zonal Caucus Leaders representing all six geopolitical zones: North-West, North-East, North-Central, South-West, South-East, and South-South. Each leader was expected to summarise the security situation in their zone.
Following those briefs, the full chamber opened a general debate, during which all members had the opportunity to share parliamentary perspectives, evidence, and experiences from their constituencies.
The House then moved to consider motions and a Draft Composite Resolution — a consolidated document intended to capture the key points raised during the day's deliberations, along with proposed legislative actions.
The session was scheduled to conclude with the formal adoption of a Security Resolution outlining agreed actions, timelines, and oversight mechanisms, followed by closing remarks from the Speaker reaffirming the House's commitment to sustained parliamentary engagement on security matters.
No bills at first, second, or third reading, committee reports, or petitions were listed on this order paper.
