The National Assembly has officially shifted its planned resumption date for plenary sessions from Tuesday, September 23, to Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
A formal notice issued by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, informed both senators and members of the House of Representatives about the new date.
Although no reason was provided for the delay, the statement described the decision as regrettable.
“With deep regrets, Honourable Members are hereby informed that the resumption of plenary sessions earlier scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has been rescheduled. The new date of resumption is Tuesday, October 7, 2025. Kindly take note and make the necessary adjustments to your schedules accordingly,” the brief notice read.
The National Assembly had previously gone on its annual two-month recess in July. During the recess announcement, Senate President Godswill Akpabio urged lawmakers to remain productive by continuing committee work, finalising reports, and conducting oversight functions.
Likewise, members of the House of Representatives were encouraged to engage in constituency outreach, monitor ongoing federal projects, and address local concerns during the break.
The annual legislative recess is a standard part of the National Assembly’s calendar, designed to allow lawmakers to focus on both national and constituency responsibilities, while also attending to personal matters.
