President of Senate, Ahmad Lawan, decried the non-appearance of the affected MDAs before the Senate Committee on Loan and Foreign Debts.
Lawan, while issuing the summons at the close of plenary on Wednesday, said if the MDAs failed to appear, the Senate would take appropriate and prompt actions against them.
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has reconstituted the leadership and membership of some standing and special committees of the Senate.
Lawan made the announcement moments before the upper chamber adjourned plenary.
