Reps Vanish For Weeks! Lawmakers Begin Annual Recess Amid Rising National Tension – Video Goes Viral

The House of Representatives has commenced its annual recess, with plenary sessions suspended until September 23, 2025.

Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu made the announcement during the closing session on Wednesday at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja. A motion for the two-month adjournment was presented, seconded, and unanimously approved by the lawmakers.

Kalu encouraged members to make productive use of the break by visiting their constituencies, engaging with the public, addressing local issues, and inspecting ongoing federal projects.

He noted that the recess offers lawmakers the chance to fulfill oversight duties and manage personal and constituency affairs.

The adjournment aligns with the National Assembly’s legislative calendar, which includes scheduled breaks to ensure a balance between national legislative duties and grassroots representation.

The House is slated to resume plenary activities on Tuesday, September 23.
