The lawmaker opined that contemporarily, everything in the country revolves round security.
He promised that the upper legislative chamber would ensure that the nation’s security and armed forces continue to receive the attention that currently befits them.
“When we are able to secure our environment, then we can provide other things easily and comfortably,” he said.
Lawal stated that at the Senate, they consider the AFCSC as one of the most important institutions that provides training and education for the nation’s military.
”This is at both tactical, operational and mid-level for officers that lead various military operations,” he said.
