The National Assembly has moved the resumption of plenary proceedings by two weeks.

The plenary, originally set to reconvene on September 23, will now begin on October 7.

Chinedu Akubueze, Senate President’s Chief of Staff, apologised to senators in a memo for the difficulty caused by the postponement.

“This is to respectfully inform distinguished senators that the resumption of plenary sitting of the senate, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd September, 2025, has been shifted to Tuesday, 7th October, 2025,” the memo reads.

“Any inconvenience this short notice may cause is deeply regretted. Distinguished senators are kindly invited to note the postponement and adjust their schedules accordingly.”

Members of the House of Representatives received a similar note.

In an internal memorandum dated September 22, the house clerk, Yahaya Danzaria, acknowledged the development.

“With deep regrets, honourable members are hereby informed that the resumption of plenary sessions earlier scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has been rescheduled,” the memo reads.

“The new date of resumption is Tuesday, October 7, 2025. Kindly take note and make the necessary adjustments to your schedules accordingly.”

The reason for the postponement was not disclosed.
