Senate president, Godswill Akpabio led a procession of principal officers into the chamber at about 11.40 a.m. after which he said the opening prayers.
He welcomed senators from vacation and called for their cooperation to enable the 10th Senate to move the country forward.
Akpabio said that though their opinions may differ their common purpose is to work for the welfare of their constituents and indeed the entire country, appealing to all aggrieved lawmakers to sheath their swords and cooperate with his leadership.
He insisted that the progress the country requires at the moment could only be achieved in a state of unity.
Akpabio said: “I welcome you from vacation and I sue for the spirit of cooperation and unity among us as it is through such discussion that we will achieve the best outcomes for all Nigerians.
“Be reminded that though our opinions may differ our common purpose is about the welfare of our constituents. In the coming days and weeks, we will address pressing issues, debating, legislating, and striving to forge common grounds and move our nation forward…”
The Senate thereafter dissolved into an executive session for further deliberation.
A cursory look at the Order Paper for the day shows that the screening and confirmation of Olayemi Cardoso for appointment as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria was top on the agenda.
The order paper also showed that four deputy governors of the CBN would also be screened and confirmed for appointment.
The red chamber also planned to screen and confirm, at the committee of the whole, the appointment of four new deputy governors.
