National Assembly Delays Plenary Resumption to March 5

The National Assembly has announced a postponement of its plenary resumption from Tuesday, February 24, 2026, to Thursday, March 5, 2026. This decision was communicated through a statement issued by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana.

The shift in date is attributed to the necessity for various committees to complete their ongoing budget defense sessions concerning the 2026 appropriation bill. According to the statement, the plenary is scheduled to reconvene at 11:00 AM on March 5.

The postponement allows lawmakers to continue considering the 2026 appropriation bill, with several committees engaged with ministers, departments, and agencies. The leadership expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by this adjustment and urged members to note the revised schedule.
