The Senate and House Representatives will reconvene today from the Sallah and end of first session break.
Both chambers earlier adjourned plenary till Tuesday July 2, but Chairman of the Senate Committees on Media and Public Affairs, Yemi Adaramodu, and Clerk to the House of Representatives, Yahaya Danzaria, confirmed that the National Assembly would cut its break by one day.
Adaramodu, in a statement, said: “It’s our statutory resumption from the Sallah break. Senate has the constitutional power to regulate its sessions, and we believe we can gain one more legislative day to deal with national and constitutional issues, hence the bringing forward from the initial July 2.
“We hope to deal with issues concerning our further oversight on the Appropriations, clear hanging issues of constitutional and electoral concerns, and clear outstanding bills and motions, expectedly before our annual recess, later in the year.”
Danzaria, in a June 24 memo, said: “Please be informed that resumption date from the ongoing recess has been rescheduled from July 2 to June 27. Accordingly, plenary will hold on Thursday, June 27, by 11am.
“Kindly make necessary adjustments to your schedules and ensure your timely presence for the resumption of legislative activities.”
