National Assembly Postpones Plenary Resumption To October 7

The National Assembly has postponed its resumption of plenary sessions by two weeks.

Lawmakers were initially expected to reconvene on September 23, but the new date has now been set for October 7.

In a memo addressed to senators, Chinedu Akubueze, Chief of Staff to the Senate President, apologised for the disruption caused by the change.

“This is to respectfully inform distinguished senators that the resumption of plenary sitting of the senate, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd September, 2025, has been shifted to Tuesday, 7th October, 2025,” the memo reads.

“Any inconvenience this short notice may cause is deeply regretted. Distinguished senators are kindly invited to note the postponement and adjust their schedules accordingly.”

Members of the House of Representatives also received a similar notice.

In an internal communication dated September 22, Clerk of the House, Yahaya Danzaria, confirmed the adjustment.

“With deep regrets, honourable members are hereby informed that the resumption of plenary sessions earlier scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has been rescheduled.

“The new date of resumption is Tuesday, October 7, 2025. Kindly take note and make the necessary adjustments to your schedules accordingly,” the memo reads.

The reason for the postponement was not disclosed.

KanyiDaily recalls that the National Assembly previously suspended all legislative duties on hold to mourn the former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Saturday, July 13, 2025, in London.
