The National Assembly has announced a postponement in the resumption of plenary.
The new date is now set for January 30, 2024.
This comes two weeks after the passage of the N28.7 trillion budget for 2024.
The lawmakers had scheduled their resumption for January 23. However, a recent communique from Yahaya Danzaria, the Clerk to the House of Representatives, addressed to all members, indicated the new resumption date.
This delay in the resumption of plenary sessions marks a shift in the legislative calendar of the National Assembly.
The reason behind this postponement has not been explicitly stated in the announcement.
The message reads, “I am directed inform Hon. Members that the resumption date for both Senate and House of Representatives has been shifted upwards from Tuesday, 23rd January 2024 (earlier announced) to Tuesday, 30th January 2024 at 11:00 am prompt. All inconveniences are regretted.”
