The House of Representatives will return from its annual recess on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, a week later than initially planned.
The new resumption date was announced in an internal memo by the Clerk of the House, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, on Wednesday.
Lawmakers had embarked on their annual vacation on July 23, 2024, with plans to resume on September 17.
During the recess, members of the House engaged in outreach programs in their constituencies, addressing critical issues and conducting oversight of government agencies.
According to House spokesman Akin Rotimi, “Honourable Members deepened their connection with constituents, tackling pressing concerns and ensuring accountability in line with the Constitution and House Standing Orders.”
Upon resumption, the House leadership will inaugurate the new board of the Public Complaints Commission and the Joint Senate/House Ad Hoc Committees on the Petroleum Industry Investigation on September 25. The statement said further details will be announced during plenary on the day of resumption.
“As the 10th Assembly resumes, it will continue to drive its legislative agenda, focusing on impactful reforms aimed at national development and fulfilling its mandate to the Nigerian people,” the statement added.
