KEY POINTS


  • The scheduled February 4, 2025 date now marks the new start time for Senate and House plenary meeting sessions.
  • Budget defense sessions triggered a change to the existing schedule of activities.
  • The 2025 budget requires deep MDAs engagements from committees during their evaluation process.

The Senate delayed its plenary session start date from January 28 until February 4 to focus on budget defense activities.

The statement from Senate Clerk Andrew Nwoba declared the postponement on Saturday.

A statement notified distinguished Senators about how budget defense activities caused the revised session start date. The Senate plenary sessions now begin on Tuesday, 4th February 2025 at 11:00 a.m. exactly following their initial date on January 28th being changed.

The modification lets budget committees meet diligently with Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to analyze the 2025 financial proposal before the review process starts.

House of representatives follows suit

The House of Representatives chose to delay its return session too. Akin Rotimi presented the House decision in a statement which had received direction from Clerk Dr. Yahaya Danzaria.

The House of Representatives delayed its plenary commencement which had originally been planned for Tuesday, January 28, 2025 until resuming on February 4, 2025.

According to the released statement “The new resumption date is Tuesday February 4, 2025.”

The postponement enables House committees to interact extensively with MDAs during legislative activities that benefit Nigerian citizens.
