In the meantime; the Deputy Senate President said a twelve-man panel, comprising two legislators from each of the six geopolitical zones, has been constituted to review and resolve all outstanding issues.The Senators thereafter entered into a closed-door with Nigerian Service Chiefs to get update on the war against the Islamist Boko Haram insurgents and status of the Chibok schoolgirls who were abducted from Borno State two years ago.
