The resolution followed growing concerns among lawmakers over persistent attacks, kidnappings, banditry and other security threats in several parts of the country.
The meeting, which will be held behind closed doors, is expected to involve top officials from the armed forces, intelligence agencies and the police, as well as the Minister of Finance.
Lawmakers are expected to seek explanations on the current security strategy, the level of coordination among security agencies and the effectiveness of ongoing operations against criminal groups.
The House is also expected to interrogate the utilisation of security votes, budgetary allocations and emergency interventions released to tackle insecurity.
Members are concerned that despite significant security spending, attacks on communities, abductions and other violent crimes have continued to threaten lives, livelihoods and economic stability.
The inclusion of the Minister of Finance is believed to be linked to questions over the funding and sustainability of security operations, especially amid competing economic pressures.
Lawmakers are also expected to demand clarity on whether resources allocated to security agencies are being properly deployed to frontline operations and other priority areas.
The move signals increased legislative scrutiny of Nigeria’s security architecture at a time when several parts of the country are facing renewed security challenges.
The House is expected to push for stronger coordination among security agencies, improved intelligence sharing and more targeted interventions to address the root causes of insecurity.
The outcome of the closed-door engagement may shape future legislative action, including possible adjustments to security funding, stronger oversight measures and policy recommendations aimed at improving the country’s response to evolving threats.
