Reps To Resume Plenary On Tuesday

The House of Representatives has said it will resume from its annual recess on Tuesday to continue the first legislative year of the 10th Assembly.
Dr Yahaha Danzaria, the Clerk of the house, said this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
The 10th Assembly proceeded on its annual recess on July 27.
This followed a plenary session during which Speaker Tajudeen Abbas announced the leadership of the standing committees of the house.
Commenting on the resumption, Rep. Akin Rotimi, the Spokesperson of the house and House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, said the 10th Assembly had been prolific.
He said since its inauguration, the house had recorded 470 bills, with all passing first reading, while four passed second reading.
He added that there had been 175 motions considered by the parliament.
He said in spite of the recess, it had continued to function, as various ad hoc committees continued to carry out their crucial mandates.
