Power Outage Delays Nigerian Senators Sitting In The Red Chamber [Video]

A power outage occurred in the Nigerian Senate chambers in Abuja, leading to a delay in the commencement of the day’s legislative activities.

Senators present in the chambers faced an interruption in electricity supply on Tuesday afternoon, March 5.

Described as a technical glitch, the outage disrupted the scheduled proceedings as senators awaited the restoration of power.

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) is expected to address the issue promptly to facilitate the resumption of the day’s sitting.

During the power outage, discussions and legislative activities in the chambers were temporarily halted, emphasizing the importance of a swift resolution by the AEDC for the Senate to resume its proceedings without further delay.

This comes a few days after President Bola Tinubu gave his approval for the appointment of new members to the management team of FGN Power Company Limited.
