In other news, the Nigerian Senate has rejected a letter by the comptroller-general of customs, Col Hameed Ali requesting to be excused from the Senate's invitation on Wednesday, March 15.
Hameed Ali had informed the Senate that he would not appear before the lawmakers on Wednesday as the date coincided with the routine management of the NCS.
The Customs boss requested that the upper chamber of the National Assembly fix another date for his appearance.
But the senate dismissed the letter and told Hameed he must appear tomorrow, March 15, in uniform.
The Senate was also angry that the letter was written and signed by a deputy comptroller-general, a situation the Senate considered to have undermined their resolution.
