The Senate has again adjusted its resumption date, moving plenary from September 23 to October 7, 2025.
The announcement was contained in an internal memo signed by the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Chinedu Akubueze, and circulated on Monday.
The latest development means the chamber’s annual recess, which began in July, has now been extended by two more weeks.
Although no official reason was provided, insiders at the National Assembly disclosed that the shift was to enable lawmakers to fully observe the Independence Day celebrations on October 1.
In the memo titled “Notice of Shift in Plenary Resumption Date”, Akubueze also tendered an apology to senators over the late communication.
It read, “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.
“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.”
The Senate had on July 24 proceeded on its annual recess, a decision Senate President Godswill Akpabio described then as “chamber reciprocity,” since the House of Representatives had also gone on break in line with the legislative calendar.
