On the 25th of June, they went for another recess and were supposed to resume on July 21st, only to add another one week, thus they resumed on 28 of July.

Speaking to our correspondent, a Senator described the forthcoming recess as normal.
“It is normal for us to go on six weeks recess or so. This one is not like the previous recesses, this one is legal, “the ranking Senator said.

Also, the Chairman of House of Representatives adhoc committee on media, Sani Zorro was not reachable when he was contacted for reaction.

Una weldone. We are waiting.

Ok

Reccess allowance loading

I guess it have to do with this reduction in their budget and banks not ready to give loan

is this story,news or dreamer

This NASS is the real One Chance.

There's really no difference between the workload of NASS lawmakers and workers at a typical local government councils. Its just that one gets millions of naira as allowances while the other gets paltry sums.

They should go ahead and give themselves 3months and get all fat up as a result of inactivity. We all know that winning elections to National assembly is now part of a Nigerian retirement plan.

They should enjoy their well deserved retirement package.

Tinubu will not like this news.
Tinubu Oshiomole said you should GO AND DIE.

The animols dont have work to do now. No ideas to enact new legislations. That is why they want to go on recess. Isnt it too early for Gods sake?

Chai! Naija senators are scammers

If true then its a shame; wonder what Ben Bruce will say.

I really do think it's time to do away with either d red chamber or d green chamber. These guys are proving day by day that they've got next to nothing to do
Working just 14 days in four (4) months is just absurd that is if your story is anything to go by

Okay!

What is then the need for the wardrobe allowance when they won't even go to work and showcase their newly acquired wardrobes? No need to go into other crazy allowances...it is just sickening. Six weeks or more? They can't even lay down specific rules! Shame I swear.
