The National Assembly will reconvene today, earlier than the initially scheduled date of Tuesday, July 2, following the end of its first session break. 

This was confirmed by Senator Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committees on Media, and Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, Clerk of the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers are set to address urgent national and constitutional issues and carry out further oversight on the implementation of the Appropriation Act, 2024. This early resumption underscores the pressing nature of the legislative matters at hand.

Reports suggest that President Bola Tinubu may transmit the 2024 Supplementary Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly for consideration and passage. The bill is expected to address additional funding requirements not covered in the initial appropriation act, ensuring the smooth continuation of government projects and services.

The reconvening of the National Assembly is seen as a proactive step towards maintaining legislative momentum and ensuring that critical national issues are addressed promptly. The lawmakers’ return will enable the timely consideration and passage of important bills, including the supplementary appropriation bill, which is crucial for the government’s fiscal plans.

Senator Adaramodu and Dr. Danzaria emphasized the importance of the session, highlighting the need for lawmakers to engage in comprehensive oversight of the 2024 Appropriation Act’s implementation. This oversight is essential to ensure that allocated funds are utilized effectively and in accordance with the intended purposes.
