The adjustment was communicated in an internal memo signed by the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Chinedu Akubueze, effectively extending the upper chamber’s annual recess by two weeks.
Although no official explanation was provided, sources told The PUNCH that the delay was to allow lawmakers to fully participate in the October 1 Independence Day celebrations.
In the memo titled “Notice of Shift in Plenary Resumption Date,” Akubueze tendered an apology for the late notice.
The statement 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.”
It will be recalled that the Senate adjourned plenary for its annual recess on July 24. At the time, Senate President Godswill Akpabio defended the break as an act of “chamber reciprocity,” noting that the House of Representatives had also gone on recess in line with the legislative calendar.
