Both chambers had earlier adjourned plenary till Tuesday, July 2, but the chairman of Senate committees on media and public affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu (APC-Ekiti South), and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria confirmed that the National Assembly would cut its break.
Adaramodu in a statement said the resumption of plenary has become necessary to enable the lawmakers to attend to urgent national and constitutional issues and to carry out further oversight on the implementation of the Appropriation Act, 2024.
Adaramadu said: “It’s our statutory resumption from the Sallah break. Senate has the constitutional power to regulate its sessions and we believe that we could gain one more legislative day to deal with national and constitutional issues, hence the bringing forward from the initial July 2.
“We hope to deal with issues concerning our further oversight on the Appropriations and clear further the hanging issues of constitutional and electoral concerns. And clear outstanding bills and motions, expectedly before our annual recess, later in the year.”
On his part, the Clerk to the House of Representatives, Danzaria in a terse internal memo dated June 24, 2024, and titled: “Change in Resumption Date from Recess” addressed to Members said: “Please be informed that the resumption date from the ongoing recess has been rescheduled from Tuesday, July 2, 2024, to Thursday, June 27, 2024.
“Accordingly, the plenary will hold on Thursday, June 27, 2024, by 11:00 am.
“Kindly make necessary adjustments to your schedules and ensure your timely presence for the resumption of legislative activities.”
Recall that President Bola Tinubu would today (Thursday) transmit the 2024 Supplementary Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly for consideration and passage.
On Tuesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio refuted reports that the Senate had approved the purchase of new presidential jets.
He described as malicious a report quoting him to have said the National Assembly would approve the purchase of new aircraft for the President and Vice President, irrespective of the harsh economic situation in the country.
The House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence had recommended purchase of new aircraft for the President and the Vice-President as the existing presidential jets are faulty and unsafe for use.
