The National Assembly has announced the postponement of its resumption scheduled for Tuesday Feb. 19 to Tuesday Feb. 26.

The Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr Mohammed Sani-Omolori, made this known in a statement on Sunday.

He said the postponement became necessary following the postponement of the Presidential and National Assembly elections to Saturday, Feb. 23.

“This is to inform all distinguished senators and honourable members that resumption of plenary session earlier scheduled for Tuesday Feb. 19 has been postponed to Tuesday, Feb. 26, due to the postponement of the national elections.

“All distinguished senators and honourable members are expected to resume plenary session by 10 a.m. on Feb. 26 please,” he said.
