Nigerian Senate Convenes Emergency Session

The Nigerian Senate is convening an emergency session with just two days to the presidential inauguration.

According to reports, it is not yet clear what the upper chamber intends to handle during this session.

Lawmakers have started arriving at the chambers, but the Senate President is yet to arrive.

This is the second time in the 9th Senate that an emergency session is convened. The first was during the COVID-19 pandemic to approve funds to address the pandemic.

From the just released order paper, the major proposed legislations for consideration today are the 2022 supplementary budget amendment bill and the CBN Act amendment bill.

In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that Justice F. Riman of the Federal High Court sitting at Akwa, Anambra State has convicted and sentenced nine internet fraudsters, popularly known as “Yahoo Boys” to six months imprisonment each.
