LunagisthubNigerian Senate Postpones Plenary Sitting to October 7
The Nigerian Senate has postponed its plenary sitting, initially scheduled for September 23, 2025, to October 7, 2025. This decision was announced through an internal memo signed by Chinedu Akubueze, Chief of Staff to the Senate President .
Although no official reason was provided for the postponement, sources suggest that the delay is intended to allow lawmakers to fully participate in the Independence Day celebrations on October 1. This move is likely aimed at enabling senators to engage in festivities and events marking Nigeria’s independence without conflicting commitments.
The memo, titled “Notice of Shift in Plenary Resumption Date,” expresses regret for any inconvenience caused by the short notice. Akubueze apologized to senators for the belated information and requested that they adjust their schedules accordingly. The memo reads:
“This is to respectfully inform Distinguished Senators that the resumption of plenary sitting of the Senate, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 23rd September, 2025, has been shifted to Tuesday, 7th October, 2025. Any inconvenience this short notice may cause is deeply regretted. Distinguished Senators are kindly invited to note the postponement and adjust their schedules accordingly. Thank you for your kind understanding, and God bless.
The postponement may impact the Senate’s legislative schedule, potentially delaying key decisions and discussions. However, the decision to prioritize Independence Day celebrations reflects the significance of national events in Nigeria’s calendar.
