In an internal memorandum to lawmakers, Clerk of the House, Yahaya Danzaria, announced the postponement without offering any official reason, but expressed regret over the change.

“With deep regrets, Honourable Members are hereby informed that the resumption of plenary sessions earlier scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has been rescheduled. The new date of resumption is Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
