BREAKING: Senate Postpones Resumption Till April 23

The Senate has delayed its scheduled resumption, initially set for Tuesday, April 16, 2024, until April 23.

The postponement was contained in a terse message to Senators by the Clerk to the Senate, Chinedu Akubueze.

Senators and House of Representatives members are observing Easter and Sallah break.

The House of Representatives on Friday also postponed its resumption till April 23.

According to the Clerk to the House of Representatives, Yahaya Danzaria, the shift in date of resumption was to allow the main chambers of the House currently being renovated to be made ready for lawmakers upon resumption.

However, Akubueze in his statement, attributed the postponement of Senate’s resumption to “unforeseen circumstances.”

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.”
