The schedule date, September 25, earlier billed for the resumption of the National Assembly has been shifted.

The shifting was made known in a statement late Sunday by the clerk of the legislative arm of government, Mohammed Sani-Omolori.

Addressing lawmakers on the development, Mr Sani-Omolori said the new resumption date is October 9.

“This is to inform all Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members that resumption of plenary session earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 25th September has been postponed to Tuesday 9th October due to the activities of the primaries of the political parties.

“All Distinguished Senators and Honourable members are expected to resume plenary session by 10 am on the 9th of October, please,” the statement read.
