UPDATE: NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MOVES RESUMPTION TO MAY 6
The National Assembly has officially extended its resumption date for plenary sessions from Tuesday, 29 April to Tuesday, 6 May 2025.
The announcement was contained in a memo dated 21 April 2025 and signed by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana.
The NASS clerk confirmed the shift and cited participation in upcoming national events as the reason for the extension.
“I am directed to inform Distinguished Senators, Honourable Members, and the general public that the two Houses of the National Assembly have extended the date for the resumption of plenary sessions from Tuesday, 29th April 2025, to Tuesday, 6th May 2025,” Ogunlana stated.
According to him, the date change was to enable lawmakers to partake in the Workers’ Day celebration on 1 May and attend to pressing constituency matters.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” he added.
The Senate had previously adjourned plenary on 27 March, ahead of the Easter and Eid al-Fitr holidays.
The latest adjustment further extends the legislative break for members of the 10th National Assembly.

OPERATIONAL REPORT ON INCIDENT FROM OWERRI, IMO STATE CAPITAL
In an attempt to coerce the operators into granting an unlawful outage, state government agents purportedly acting on behalf of the Imo State Government broke into and damaged the control rooms at the Egbu 132/33kV Transmission Substation, according to information obtained from Owerri. All NISO employees working at the impacted facilities were taken captive and made to open the breakers by the operatives after they forcibly disconnected them at gunpoint. Information has been obtained thus far from attempts to contact the Imo State Government for clarification. No government agency or State Electricity Regulatory Commission person has gotten in touch with NISO about the issue as of the time of this report, and no update has been given. The management of NISO is extremely concerned about the ongoing lack of official communication regarding the status of our employees. NISO Management has decided to wait until 6:00 p.m. today, November 15, 2025, to determine the whereabouts and safety of the impacted staff due to the gravity of the situation and the threat it poses to the national grid. If no information is received, all transmission substations in Owerri will be cut off from the national grid.
