The Senate on Tuesday announced it has shifted its plenary sitting initially slated for 11am, saying it would now begin by 1pm.
The Clerk to the Senate, Andrew Nwoba, who made the announcement in a statement, said the development became necessary to allow the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, to attend the opening ceremony for the First Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Parliament fixed for 10.00am.
“This is to bring to the attention of Distinguished Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that the Senate will resume its plenary session by 1:00pm instead of 11:00am, tomorrow (Tuesday), 20-05-25.
“This shift in time for resumption is due to the Opening Ceremony of the First Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Parliament, tomorrow (today) by 10.00 am which the President of the Senate will be attending.
“The Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau, will also be in attendance as he is the 1st Deputy Speaker of that Parliament.
“Any inconvenience this shift in time might have caused is highly regrettable.”
