By Udora Orizu The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, on Monday said that based on appropriation records, about 91 per cent of current funding to the Armed Forces go on recurrent overhead, salaries and welfare, leaving only nine per cent for capital purchases. This is as he said that the country is at war against insurgency, terrorism, kidnapping and all manner of insecurity; hence the need to uplift the resources available to the Armed Forces to enable them procure the best tools to help win the war. The Speaker also disclosed that the House will next week host a five-day special summit on national security, to take an all-nation and all-government approach by examining extensively non-military solutions to insecurity.
