Gbajabiamila who made the announcement at plenary, said there are disturbing revelations concerning operations of NGOs during the meeting of the House leadership and Service Chiefs last Monday.

The meeting was on the state of security in the North East.

The Speaker said that the bill which was sponsored by Buba Jibrin, generated outcry from the general public.

In a similar development, the Green Chambers has urged the Federal Government to create a Special Security Fund for security agencies apart from the national budget.

This followed an adoption of a motion of urgent matters of public importance by Mohammed Mungonu. He said that Nigeria in recent times had witnessed unprecedented level of insecurity, adding  that the development had made national security a major issue for the government.
