The House of Representatives has postponed resumption by one week its anticipated resumption.
Recall that the lawmakers proceeded on their annual recess on July 20 and were scheduled to reconvene on September 13.
According to PUNCH, the resumption date had been postponed by one week due to the forthcoming Eid-el Kabir festivities, but a former Deputy Minority Whip of the House, Mr. Garba Dhatti, confirmed on Sunday that the resumption would be delayed by “three weeks.”.
A senior National Assembly official stated on Sunday said: “The Sallah proper will be on Monday, September 12, just one day to the original resumption date.
“Taken that the Federal Government will naturally declare Monday and Tuesday (September 13) as public holidays to mark the Sallah, it is no longer feasible for the House to reconvene on September 13.
“We are now looking at a date from Tuesday, September 20.”
