Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has shuffled the leadership composition of some committees to realign them to responsibilities within the upper chamber.
A significant change is the reconstitution of the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence, which is now to be chaired by Yahaya Abdullahi. Until the reshuffle, Abdullahi led the Committee on National Planning.
In a related adjustment, Mustafa Musa has been named the new chairman of the Senate Committee on National Planning.

While announcing the changes in plenary yesterday, Akpabio said the change was made by the Selection Committee chaired by him.
The Senate also restructured the Committee on Livestock and Animal Husbandry, appointing Shehu Buba as its new chairman barely a week after he was removed as Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Intelligence.
Additionally, the Senate Minority Whip, Osita Ngwu, has been appointed acting Chairman of the Senate Committee on Air Force. Ngwu previously served as the committee’s Deputy Chairman. He steps in for Senator Godiya Akwashiki, who is currently indisposed.
