President Muhammadu Buhari may be summoned by the National Assembly to address both chambers over the economic recession in the country, Punch reports.

According to the online news medium, the decision to invite the President was made in a private meeting  of the Senate and House of Representatives principal officers at the residence of Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Wednesday.

One of the lawmakers told Punch that it was decided that the President should tell lawmakers steps that have been taken to tackle the recession.

He said, “It was Speaker Yakubu Dogara, who led the House of Representatives’ team to the meeting, that suggested the idea and it was adopted by leaders of both chambers.

“The president was asked to come and brief us on the specific efforts he had taken with his economic team to tackle the recession.

He also said the chambers will ask President Buhari to reshuffle his cabinet in order to introduce new individuals with fresh ideas.
