Senate postpones resumption to May 6

The leadership of the 10th Senate has announced a change in the resumption date of plenary sessions, originally slated for April 29, 2025.

The new date has been moved to Tuesday, May 6, 2025.

This adjustment was communicated through an internal memo dated April 20, 2025, and signed by the Clerk of the Senate, Andrew Ogbonna Nwoba. According to the memo, the postponement was made in consideration of the International Workers’ Day holiday on May 1 and to give senators ample time to engage with their constituents.

The memo reads in part:

“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.”
