Senators today commenced their five-day retreat in Port Harcourt, to deliberate on the 1999 Constitution and the 2008 budget. The retreat will also afford them the opportunity to meet with the Niger-Delta militants from Bayelsa, Delta and Akwa Ibom states.

Topics to be discussed at the retreat include "The Dynamics of Constitutional amendment in Nigeria, Appropriating for development, The Niger-Delta master plan and The role of the National Assembly in democratic governance.’.

Others are "Legislative and institutional framework for the fight against corruption: challenges and prospects, Corruption and the challenges of delivery of democratic dividends in Nigeria and Understanding the concept and application of the rule of law in the fight against corruption’’, among others.

Well, am just wondering what they intend to make out nof this, perhaps they should start by talking to the militants, or what do you think?
