The National Assembly of Nigeria has postponed the resumption of plenary sittings, moving the date from February 24 to March 5, 2026.
Both the Senate of Nigeria and the House of Representatives of Nigeria had earlier adjourned for two weeks to allow committees to conduct budget defence sessions for ministries, departments, agencies (MDAs), and government parastatals as part of the 2026 appropriation process.
In a statement on Monday, Clerk to the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, said the extension was necessary to give committees sufficient time to complete their ongoing budget reviews.
The notice stated that plenary sessions in both chambers will now resume on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Lawmakers were advised to take note of the revised schedule, and the leadership expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the change.
