Senate Delays Resumption by Two Weeks, Offers No Explanation
The Nigerian Senate has shifted its resumption of plenary from September 23 to October 7, 2025. No reason was given for the delay, with the notice issued by the Senate President’s Chief of Staff instead of the Clerk.
The Nigerian Senate has shifted its resumption of plenary by two weeks, moving the date from Tuesday, September 23, to Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
The upper chamber had adjourned on July 24, 2025, for its annual recess and was originally scheduled to reconvene today.
In a statement to lawmakers, Chinedu Akubueze, Chief of Staff to the Senate President, announced the change but gave no official reason for the postponement.
Akubueze, while expressing regret over the delay, urged senators to take note of the adjustment.
The memo partly 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.”
Observers also noted that the internal memo was signed by the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, rather than the Clerk of the Senate, who traditionally issues such notices.
It will be recalled that the National Assembly Service Commission recently approved the appointment of Emmanuel Odo as Acting Clerk of the Senate. His appointment was ratified on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, during the 6th Commission’s 10th meeting.
