Ahead of resumption of plenary on October 7, authorities of the National Assembly have introduced some security measures.
These include new security protocols restricting access to the corridor leading to Senate President Godswill Akpabio’s office.
This was contained in a memo dated October 2, and signed by the the sergeant-at-arms at the National Assembly, Etido Ekpo.
Ekpo, a retired brigadier-general, said that the corridor linking the National Assembly lobby to the Senate President’s office will henceforth be reserved exclusively for senators and members of the House of Representatives.
He explained that aides and personal assistants will no longer be permitted access to the passage.
“You are kindly requested to disseminate this information to distinguished senators who would in turn intimate their aides or personal assistants as appropriate,” the memo read.
The National Assembly is scheduled to resume plenary on October 7 after a recess of more than two months.
