Nigerian National Assembly Begins New Recess Until October
The National Assembly of Nigeria has embarked on another recess after a previous 68-day vacation, which began on July 23. The lawmakers were expected to resume on September 15 but postponed their return to September 29 to allow for repairs to the sound systems in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Upon returning, the lawmakers did not remain in session long before announcing another adjournment, with the next plenary session scheduled for October 13. During this period, the Senate discussed the security situation in Nigeria and will participate in a National Security Summit aimed at addressing the country's security challenges, including intelligence gathering and territorial integrity.
The House of Representatives also adjourned after discussing fiscal matters and will continue to consider pending bills and budget-related issues when they reconvene.
