The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has called for an emergency plenary session ahead of a planned nationwide protest.
The announcement of the emergency session was made through a memo sent by the Clerk of the House, Yahaya Danzaria, to all House members.
The House had previously adjourned until September for their recess, but members are now scheduled to reconvene on Wednesday for the emergency session.
While the memo did not specify the details of the session, the House spokesperson, Akin Rotimi, stated that the purpose of the meeting is to discuss a vital national issue.
“It is customary for the House to reconvene from recess to address pressing national issues. The forthcoming session will focus on critical matters requiring immediate legislative attention. Honourable Members are expected to make the necessary arrangements to ensure their presence,” he said in the statement.
This session is coming on the eve of the planned nationwide protest which is to commence on Thursday.
