Unexplained Delay: Senate pushes plenary resumption to October

By Paul Dada

The leadership of the 10th Nigerian Senate has once again adjusted its legislative calendar by postponing the resumption of plenary sittings from the initially scheduled date of September 23 to October 7, 2025.

The decision was communicated via an internal memo signed by Chinedu Akubueze, Chief of Staff to Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

This marks a two-week extension of the Senate’s annual recess, which began on July 24.

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.”

No official reason was given for the extension.
