The letter was read on Tuesday by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, during plenary.

According to the President, the letter, which was in sequel to section 5( 5) of 1999 Constitution as amended, also became imperative following the need for peacekeeping as a sister country..

The President said that deploying the troops was as a result of a request by the Benin Republic for assistance and considering the close ties of friendship and brotherhood.

The letter was titled, “Deployment of Nigerian troops to the Republic of Benin for peace mission.”
