The House of Representatives on Tuesday adjourned its sitting over a faulty sound system.

Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, said that the adjournment was necessary to create room for the sound system to be fixed.

The sitting was then adjourned till the next day.

According to Dogara, the microphones were installed in 1999 and the panels would take three weeks to arrive Nigeria from Germany.

He, however, stated that if the problem persists by Wednesday, the House will adjourn sitting indefinitely.

During Tuesday’s plenary, which lasted over an hour, lawmakers were seen passing a cordless microphone around to enable them to contribute on the floor of the House.

This is the second time in one week that the lower chamber of the National Assembly would be adjoining plenary over a faulty sound system.
