Senate announces May 6 as new resumption date

303

The 10th Senate’s leadership has announced a new resumption date of May 6, against the previously scheduled date of April 29, 2025.

The resumption was rescheduled due to the upcoming International Workers’ Day public holiday on May 1, and to give lawmakers extra time for constituency engagements.

The announcement was contained in an internal memo dated April 20, 2025, addressed to all senators and signed by Senate Clerk Andrew Ogbonna Nwoba.

The circular reads: “Distinguished Senators, I am directed to inform you that the resumption of plenary sittings of the Senate, earlier scheduled for Monday, 29th April 2025, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, 6th May 2025.

“This postponement is made to allow Distinguished Senators to stay with their constituents during the International Workers’ Day public holiday in the first week of May and to further enhance constituency engagements.

“Distinguished Senators are kindly requested to take note of this postponement while regretting any inconvenience the change might have caused.”

Persecondnews reported that the Senate had on March 27 adjourned the plenary to allow lawmakers to observe the Easter and Eid-El-Fitr holidays.
