National assembly extends recess by one week

 Kamoru Ogunlana, clerk of the national assembly, says both
chambers of the legislature have extended their resumption date by one week.

 

Senators and house of representative members commenced their
latest recess on March 27 and were billed to return to legislative business on
April 29.

 

In a statement on Monday, Ogunlana said plenary in both
chambers will now resume on May 6.

 

The clerk said the earlier resumption date has been shelved
to allow lawmakers participate in the Workers’ Day ceremony and attend to
constituency matters.

 



“I am directed to inform distinguished senators, honourable
members, and the general public that the two houses of the national assembly
have extended the date for the resumption of plenary sessions from Tuesday,
29th April 2025, to Tuesday, 6th May 2025,” the statement reads.

 

“This extension allows distinguished senators and honourable
members to participate in the Workers’ Day ceremony and attend to other
engagements in their constituencies.

 

“Distinguished senators, honourable members, and the general
public are invited to take note of the new resumption date.

 

 

“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and
appreciate your understanding.”

 

In his Easter message on Sunday, Opeyemi Bamidele, leader of
the senate, said the national assembly is developing legal frameworks to
establish state police as part of efforts to address insecurity in the country.

 

“While the Authority of the National Assembly is in the
process of developing legal frameworks for the establishment of state police as
one of the measures to address insecurity in the country, we urge security
agencies to work together as a team to track and apprehend all the masterminds
and sponsors of terror attacks nationwide,” he said.
