National Assembly calls off Tuesday reconvening

national assembly

The National Assembly will not reconvene on Tuesday as earlier announced.

A member the House of Representatives, Abdulrazak Namdas, told PUNCH on Monday that the House had yet to decide on a reconvening date.

Deputy Speaker of the House, Yussuff Lasun, had last week announced that the National Assembly would reconvene on Tuesday to consider the budget for the 2019 polls and other pending issues forwarded to lawmakers by President Muhammadu Buhari.

With the new development, it is no longer clear when the House will reconvene to approve the budget of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
