Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives will return to the National Assembly Complex , Abuja on Wednesday to discuss ‘critical matters’.

Recall that the Senate and Reps had  last week Tuesday  announced decision to break for recess and return  to Abuja on September 17.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that a statement issued on Monday  by the Spokesman for the House of Representatives, Rotimi Akin, noted that  a plenary session that will  be held on Wednesday  will focus on critical matters requiring immediate legislative attention

‘The House of Representatives wishes to announce that, pursuant to the directive of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, PhD., a plenary session has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, 2024.

Honourable Members have been duly summoned from their respective constituencies to attend this crucial session. This directive was communicated through an internal memorandum issued by the Clerk of the House, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, Esq., on Sunday.

The House had commenced its annual recess on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. The Annual Recess provides Honourable Members with the opportunity to engage extensively with their constituencies, ensuring that the legislative process remains attuned to public input.

This period also allows for in-depth engagements at the grassroots, facilitating a deeper understanding of the constituents’ needs and priorities’ the statement said.

Rep Akin  also noted that it is  normal for the House of Representatives to cut short recess in order to address pressing national issues.

‘The forthcoming session will focus on critical matters requiring immediate legislative attention. Honourable Members are expected to make the necessary arrangements to ensure their presence’ he added.

Distinguished Senators are requested to make all necessary arrangements to attend as issues of national importance will be discussed.

We regret all the inconveniences that this interruption of the recess will cause.
