The Nigerian Senate has moved the resumption of plenary sittings from September 23 to October 7, 2025.
This was confirmed in an internal memo signed by the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Chinedu Akubueze.
While no official reason was given, the delay is intended to allow lawmakers to fully observe the Independence Day celebrations on October 1.
In the memo titled “Notice of Shift in Plenary Resumption Date,” Akubueze also apologised to the senators for the belated information.
It read, “This is to respectfully inform Distinguished Senators that the resumption of plenary sitting of the Senate, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd September, 2025, has been shifted to Tuesday, 7th October, 2025.
“Any inconvenience this short notice may cause is deeply regretted. Distinguished Senators are kindly invited to note the postponement and adjust their schedules accordingly.
“Thank you for your kind understanding, and God bless.”
