Senate Goes On Recess, To Resume By July

The Senate adjourned its plenary session on Tuesday to July 2, 2024, to allow lawmakers to participate in activities marking the 2024 Democracy Day and to take their end-of-session break.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio made the announcement during the plenary session.

This adjournment comes as the 10th National Assembly approaches its one-year anniversary on Thursday, June 13.

Before adjourning, the Senate approved a total budget of N1.911 trillion for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for the year 2024. The budget approval followed the consideration of a report by the Senate committee on NDDC.
