The House of Representatives has reversed its earlier decision to suspend plenary for a week, initially intended to pressure the Federal Government to pay local contractors owed various sums of money.

On Tuesday, during an executive session, lawmakers expressed displeasure at the poor implementation of the capital component of the 2024 and 2025 budgets. They had threatened strict measures against the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun; the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu; and the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamsedeen Ogunjimi, if debts owed to contractors were not settled within a week.
However, just a few hours after the ultimatum, the House, through its spokesman Akin Rotimi, announced that the decision to adjourn had been reversed, citing “positive developments arising from engagements and interventions across various levels of government.”
The statement read:
“The House of Representatives will reconvene for plenary on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, contrary to the earlier resolution to adjourn sittings until Tuesday next week.
“This decision follows positive developments arising from engagements and interventions across various levels of government concerning issues that informed the earlier adjournment, particularly matters relating to contractors’ agitations and the non-release of funds under the 2024/2025 budget.”
The development was formally communicated to members by the Clerk of the House, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, Esq., via an internal memorandum issued Tuesday evening.
“According to the communication, the early resumption will allow the leadership of the House to brief members on progress recorded in resolving these issues and other matters of national importance.
“At Wednesday’s plenary, the House is expected to formally rescind its earlier adjournment resolution to enable proceedings to continue. The leadership urges all honourable members to make the necessary arrangements to be in attendance.”
