National Assembly shifts resumption to May 6

The Senate and House of Representatives have postponed their resumption of plenary to Tuesday, 6th May 2025.

Originally scheduled to reconvene on Monday, 29th April 2025, both chambers of the National Assembly will now resume a week later.

This was disclosed in a circular dated Sunday, 20th April 2025, and signed by the Clerk of the House, Yahaya Danzaria.

“I am directed to respectfully inform you that the resumption of plenary sittings of the House of Representatives, earlier scheduled for Monday, 29th April 2025, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, 6th May 2025,” the statement read.

“This adjustment is made to allow Honourable Members remain in their constituencies during the International Workers’ Day public holiday in the first week of May, and to further deepen constituency engagements in line with the representative mandate of the House.

“Honourable Members are kindly requested to take note of this adjustment and act accordingly. Please accept the assurances of the Leadership’s highest regards.”

A similar notice was issued by the Clerk to the Senate, Andrew Ogbonna Nwoba, confirming the change of date for the upper chamber as well.
