President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio has called for an emergency Plenary of the Senate.
A circular signed by the Clerk, Chinedu Akubueze on Monday, said the scheduled plenary for Wednesday July 31, 2024 was of “National Importance”.
The internal circular did not give further details on the emergency meeting.
The memo wrote, “Dear Distinguished Senators, the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, has directed that an emergency plenary sitting of the Senate be convened as follows: Date: WEDNESDAY, JULY 31st, 2024;
“Distinguished Senators are requested to make all necessary arrangements to attend as issues of national importance will be discussed. We regret all inconveniences that this interruption of the recess will cause. Thanks for your usual understanding”.
The National Assembly had commenced a seven-week recess and was expected to reconvene on September 17th, 2024.
The recess was announced after the plenary last week Wednesday.
Both chambers of the Assembly – Senate, and House of Representatives, were supposed to be on break for seven weeks which is their yearly recess.
