The leadership of the 10th Senate has announced a change in its resumption date. The Senate was initially scheduled to reconvene on 29 April 2025.
However, a new date of 6 May 2025 has now been set.
This update was contained in an internal memorandum dated 20 April 2025, addressed to all senators and signed by the Clerk of the Senate, Andrew Ogbonna Nwoba.
The postponement is due to the International Workers’ Day bank holiday on 1 May, and to allow senators time to engage with their constituencies.
The circular 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.
“Distinguished Senators are kindly requested to take note of this postponement, while regretting any inconvenience the change might have caused.”
The Senate had earlier adjourned on 27 March to allow lawmakers to observe both Easter and Eid-El-Fitr holidays.
