The Nigerian Senate has announced a postponement of its scheduled resumption from the ongoing Easter and Sallah break, moving the date from Tuesday, April 16, 2024, to Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
Newsmen gathered the decision to delay the resumption was communicated to senators through a brief message from the Clerk to the Senate, Chinedu Akubueze. The message cited “unforeseen circumstances” as the reason for the delay, without providing specific details.
The message titled: “For the information of Distinguished Senators” reads: Distinguished Senators are hereby invited to note that the resumption of the plenary sitting of the Senate, which was scheduled for Tuesday, 16th April 2024, has been postponed to Tuesday 23rd April 2024.
“This postponement is owing to unforeseen circumstances, and any inconvenience this may cause is highly regretted, please.”
This postponement aligns with a similar decision made by the House of Representatives, which also delayed its resumption to April 23. The House attributed the delay to ongoing renovations to the main chambers, ensuring that the facilities are in optimal condition for lawmakers’ return.
The Clerk to the House of Representatives, Yahaya Danzaria, emphasized that the extension aims to adequately prepare the premises for legislative activities.
