House of Reps Special Security Session – 27 November 2025
The Nigerian House of Representatives resumed a Special Plenary Session dedicated entirely to national security on Thursday, 27 November 2025. Lawmakers were scheduled to debate security challenges, consider a composite resolution capturing their agreed positions, and formally adopt a Security Resolution with specific actions and timelines. The session signals that the House is treating national security as an urgent legislative priority requiring a collective parliamentary response.
On Thursday, 27 November 2025, the House of Representatives held its 57th sitting of the Third Session of the 10th National Assembly. The day's business was dominated by a resumed Special Plenary Session on National Security, which followed the chamber's standard opening procedures — including the National Anthem, Pledge, Prayers, and approval of previous votes and proceedings.
The special session was structured in four main steps. First, all honourable members were given the floor for a General Debate, where they were expected to share parliamentary perspectives, evidence, and security experiences from their constituencies across Nigeria. Second, the House moved to consider Motions and a Draft Composite Resolution — a consolidated document meant to capture everything discussed during the debate and outline proposed legislative actions. Third, the House planned to formally adopt a Security Resolution that would summarise agreed actions, set timelines, and establish oversight mechanisms. Finally, the Speaker was scheduled to deliver Closing Remarks before adjournment.
No specific bills were listed for first, second, or third reading on this sitting day. No petitions or committee reports were scheduled beyond the standard agenda items. The entire special session was focused on producing a formal, binding resolution on national security.
