The Senate Committee on National Security has criticized the envelope budgeting system affecting security allocations. Chairman Sen. Yahaya Abdullahi emphasized the need for adequate funding to address increasing security threats and ensure optimal performance of security agencies.

The committee highlighted the impact of previous non-releases of funds on agencies' operational capabilities and urged the National Assembly to prioritize funding for the intelligence community. The House Committee echoed similar concerns, advocating for improved funding and collaboration to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture.
