Barring last minute changes, Senators and House of Representatives members are set to proceed on another recess that will last for six weeks Daily Trust on Sunday has reliably gathered. The recess, our correspondent reliably gathered from the legislators and National Assembly senior workers, will last till September this year.

The recess would be announced at the end of plenary by both Chambers on Thursday, our correspondents gathered.

Our correspondent reports that the lawmakers, following the controversies that enveloped the elections at both Red and Green Chambers, went on recess on June 10th and resumed on 23rd.

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.

Today being August 9, the legislators have so far sat for 11 days in two months. By Thursday when they would be proceeding on the recess, the legislators would have sat for 14 days including on the June when they resumed.

The legislature being the Third arm of government plays critical role in the smooth running of government in democracy as the responsibility of enactment of laws and oversight rest on the shoulders of the lawmakers.

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 speaking, one of the clerks at the National Assembly confirmed the upcoming recess describing it as annual recess.
“This is annual recess, it will last for six weeks or more. It is not abnormal but meet the Senate committee on rules and business to tell you the exact, “ he said.

Efforts to get the Chairman of the Senate adhoc committee on publicity, Dino Melaye, speak on this yielded no result as he was not picking his calls.
Also, the Chairman of House of Representatives adhoc committee on media, Sani Zorro was not reachable when he was contacted for reaction.

I really don't like this arm of government, I haven't seen or heard of any remarkable impact of ANY of them since 2nd republic self!

You couldn't have said it any better!

Another round of recess is not only shocking but also remiss. It's obvious these people are not thinking at all about the progress of this country.

Happy Sunday!

Another recess haven done nothing again?
With the constant recess these guys are going on I don't think they will work full two months at the end of their tenure of four years?
Yet they get paid fully for doing nothing.
Our legislators are jokers in this dispensation

These frequent recesses/leaves can never ever be healthy for the growth of any organization likewise our governance in this country.

And on and on and on and on. Did I hear another recess. We should just convert our legislation system on per time basis since they love holidays this days.

Place your orders for long-lasting solar power banks. See my signature.

The 8th National Assembly led by APC's Saraki/Dogara has the potential to be the most clueless and the worst ever.

I thought you solemnly endorse saraki as Sen. President?

O yes! But APC brought him to the Senate not me. When we were saying that you guys are bringing the most fraudulent and clueless people to government, you all were shouting #Change #Progressive etc. After imposing him as Senator you now remember that he is a morally bankrupt and incompetent man? No way! You must accept him as your Senate President and finish what you started. You must also accept alleged terrorist Ali Ndume (APC) as Senate Majority leader.

Which of the ApC Senator impose him as senate president?? was it during the meeting with Buhari they voted??



Yoy must be a clown



Saraki will bow last

And so shall this useless trend continue until we find a way of having them receive part-time salaries just as they work part-time.

It has become so bad one hardly even notice any difference when they reconvene and when they go on recess.

Awon Ole buruku.

They just returned recent, abi? I move the motion that our lawmakers should be paid per Seating.

Maka chukwu, this should be the best way!

PMB keep Note!

This period seriously calls for the implementation of the report of the National Conference. One of the recommendations is that legislators should operate on part time basis and should be paid like civil servants. That will help a lot.

these people should be paid per sitting,haba recess every now and then
