The leadership of the 10th Senate has once again adjusted its legislative calendar, moving the resumption of plenary from September 23 to October 7, 2025.
The postponement was communicated in an internal memo signed by the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Chinedu Akubueze, and sighted by HOTJIST on Tuesday.
The new date, which effectively extends the chamber’s annual recess by two more weeks, has drawn attention within the National Assembly.
While no official reason was offered, sources told our correspondent that the delay was meant to allow lawmakers to fully observe the October 1 Independence Day celebrations.
In the memo titled “Notice of Shift in Plenary Resumption Date,” Akubueze wrote:
“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.”
The Senate had adjourned plenary on July 24 for its annual recess.
At the time, Senate President Godswill Akpabio defended the move as an act of “chamber reciprocity,” noting that the House of Representatives had also gone on break in line with the legislative calendar.
With this latest shift, pending motions and debates—including oversight on government spending and executive appointments—will remain suspended until October.
