There is heavy security around the National Assembly as Senators and members-elect are set to be inaugurated today.
Security operatives drawn from the Police, Department of State Services, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps as well as National Assembly security are on ground to ensure security in and outside the Assembly complex.
The Nation discovered that entrance to the National Assembly from the Federal Secretariat junctions was blocked by heavily armed security personnel.
Staff and others accredited to the National Assembly could only gain access into the Assembly using the SGF gate.
Many of the lawmakers were seen being ferried to National Assembly in coaster buses while others preferred to drive themselves to the venue, creating gridlock at the only entrance into the complex.
Many of the Assembly staff and other support service are not allowed access into the premises, while ongoing construction work in the Complex has been put on hold.
