Senate to resume plenary on May 6

The Senate is to resume plenary from Sallah and Easter recess on May 6, a week after the initial date of resumption on April 29, 2025.

The new date was contained in an internal memo issued to the leadership of the 10th Senate dated 20th April, 2025 and sighted by CAPITAL POST on Monday in Abuja.

The memo which was signed by the Clerk, Andrew Ogbonna Nwoba addressed to all Senators was to guide them wherever they are during the recess.

The memo said it becomes unavoidable to shift the earlier date to a new date due to the celebration of the International Workers’ Day public holiday, which is celebrated on May 1 which was not envisaged at the time of recess.

This will allow Senators to take their time to attend to key constituency engagements.

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.”
