Like house of reps, senate to resume plenary Tuesday

The senate will resume sitting on Tuesday.

In a notice to the senators on Sunday, Nelson Ayewoh, clerk of the senate, said the session will hold at 10am.

The development is coming after Patrick Giwa, clerk of the house of representatives, notified lawmakers in the lower chamber that legislative business would resume on Tuesday.

Both chambers of the national assembly had suspended sitting following the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country.

In March 2020, the federal lawmakers adjourned for two weeks but did not resume as earlier scheduled.

In the notice, Ayewoh said aides of the senators would continue to work from home until they are needed at the assembly.

“This is to inform Distinguished Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that the Senate will resume in Plenary on Tuesday, 28th April, 2020,” the notice by the senate clerk read.

“Distinguished Senators are by this notice expected to sit in plenary on Tuesday, 28th April, 2020 at 10.00am prompt.

“Staff and Senators’ Aides are to work from home and they will be notified when needed in the office for any special assignment.”
