The 10th Senate has officially postponed its resumption date, shifting it from April 29, 2025, to a new date—May 6, 2025.
This change was announced in an internal circular dated April 20 and signed by the Senate Clerk, Andrew Ogbonna Nwoba.
The memo was addressed to all senators.
According to the notice, the adjustment became necessary due to the upcoming International Workers’ Day holiday on May 1, as well as to give senators time to focus on important engagements within their constituencies.
Part of the memo reads: “Distinguished Senators, I am directed to inform you that the resumption of plenary sittings of the Senate, earlier scheduled for Monday, 29th April 2025, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, 6th May 2025.
“This postponement is made to allow Distinguished Senators to stay with their constituents during the International Workers’ Day public holiday in the first week of May and to further enhance constituency engagements.
”The notice also expressed regret for any inconvenience the change may have caused and urged senators to take note of the new date.
It is worth recalling that the Senate had earlier adjourned its plenary on March 27, to allow lawmakers observe the Easter and Eid-El-Fitr festivities.
