On Tuesday, 7 July 2026, the Nigerian House of Representatives convened for a sitting that was relatively light on legislative business but significant in a ceremonial sense.
The session opened with the standard parliamentary formalities — the National Anthem, National Pledge, and Prayers — followed by approval of the Votes and Proceedings, administration of Oaths, and any incoming messages from the President, the Senate, or other parliaments.
The most prominent item on the agenda was a Valedictory Session held in honour of the late Hon. Yaya Bauchi Tongo, who served as the federal lawmaker representing Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency in Gombe State. A valedictory session is a formal tribute held in the chamber to mark the passing of a sitting or former member of the legislature.
No bills were listed for first, second, or third reading on this order paper, and no motions or committee reports were scheduled for the main floor sitting.
Two committee meetings were, however, scheduled to hold at 3:00 p.m. on the same day: the Committee on Rules and Business, meeting in Committee Room 06 of the White House, and the Committee on Justice, meeting in Committee Room 301 of the New Building — both within the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
