REPS FURTHER EXTEND RESUMPTION DATE TO APRIL 30
The House of Representatives again postponed the date of its return from the current recess on Wednesday, setting it for Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday night by Rep. Akin Rotimi, Jr., House Spokesman/Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs.
According to the statement, “this adjustment, as communicated by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, in an internal correspondence to Honourable Members on Wednesday, is aimed at giving Honourable Members more time for constituency outreach to secure adequate input in the constitution review process.
The statement added that “the extension follows the earlier decision by the House Committee on Constitution Review to extend the deadline for submission of memoranda to April 30, 2024.
“Additionally, the extended timeline will allow for more concerted preparation for the legislative summits on State Police, as well as the one on Tax Reforms, Revenue Enhancement, and Digital Transformation coming up in the next 2 weeks.
“All inconveniences arising from this rescheduling are regretted. In line with the Legislative Agenda of the 10th Assembly, the House remains committed to being accountable and providing timely communications to all stakeholders.”
