National Assembly Postpones Resumption of Plenary to October 7

The National Assembly has postponed the resumption of plenary sessions from Tuesday, September 23, 2025, to Tuesday, October 7, 2025.

The announcement was made in a statement released on Tuesday, September 23, by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, who said the shift was made under the directive of the presiding officers of both chambers.

“I am directed by the presiding officers of both Chambers of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to inform all members of the National Assembly and the general public that the resumption date of the National Assembly earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd September, 2025, is postponed to Tuesday, 7th October, 2025,” the notice read.

Ogunlana clarified that although plenary sessions have been pushed back, standing and ad-hoc committees will continue their legislative duties during the period.

He urged senators and representatives to take note of the new date and adjust their schedules accordingly, apologizing for any inconvenience caused by the change.

Lawmakers had previously adjourned on July 23 for their annual recess, with the original plan to reconvene on September 23 for the final legislative quarter of the year.
