Nigerian Lawmakers Suspend Plenary Amid Contractor Payment Disputes
The Nigerian House of Representatives has halted plenary for a week following contractor payment disputes, leading to protests at the National Assembly. Lawmakers, including Kingsley Chinda and Benjamin Okezie Kalu, highlighted the dire situation faced by local contractors.
The motion was prompted by the failure of the government to pay contractors, causing significant hardships. The decision aims to address the non-payment issue and ensure contractors are compensated to prevent disruptions.
The suspension follows a call for urgent action by various lawmakers, including Kabiru Ahmadu Mai Palace.
