The Nigerian Senate has extended its annual recess by two weeks, postponing the resumption of its plenary from September 23 to October 7, 2025.
The change in date was announced in an internal memo circulated to lawmakers on Monday, signed by the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Chinedu Akubueze.
The memo, titled “Notice of Postponement of Resumption of Plenary Sitting,” informed senators that the session, which was originally scheduled to resume on Tuesday, September 23, has been moved.
“This is to respectfully inform Distinguished Senators that the resumption of plenary sitting of the Senate, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd September, 2025, has been shifted to Tuesday, 7th October, 2025,” the notice stated. “Any inconvenience this short notice may cause is deeply regretted. Distinguished Senators are kindly invited to note the postponement and adjust their schedules accordingly. Thank you for your kind understanding, and God bless.”
