The National Assembly has postponed the resumption of their plenary sessions by one week, extending the break taken by lawmakers.
Members were initially scheduled to resume on September 17, 2024, after a seven-week annual recess, but will now reconvene on September 24, 2024.
This announcement was made on Wednesday in a notice to lawmakers issued by Chinedu Akubueze, Clerk of the Senate, and Akin Rotimi, spokesperson of the House of Representatives.
“I hope this memo finds you well. Please be informed that the resumption date from the ongoing recess has been rescheduled from Tuesday, September 17, 2024, to Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at 11:00 am,” Akubueze said in the notice, thanking lawmakers for their understanding.
Akin Rotimi added that the Clerk of the House, Yahaya Danzaria, had communicated the new date to House members and noted that lawmakers had used the recess period for extensive constituency outreach across the country.
Upon their return, the leadership of the House will inaugurate the new board of the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) and the Joint Senate/House Ad Hoc Committees on the Petroleum Industry Investigation on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, according to Rotimi.
“As the 10th Assembly resumes, it will continue to drive its Legislative Agenda, focusing on impactful reforms aimed at national development and fulfilling its mandate to the Nigerian people,” Rotimi concluded.
