Senate resumes on Tuesday after six- week recess

The Chairman, Senate Adhoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Senator Dino Melaye, on Monday said the Senate will resume on Tuesday after a six- week recess.

Melaye, who stated this in a statment in Abuja, also dispelled speculations of a likely postponement of the resumption of the upper chamber.



He said the Senate will commence legislative activities and is fully ready to receive and welcome communication from President Muhammadu Buhari.

Melaye said the Senate is committed to do things that would promote the unity, prosperity and wellbeing of the Nigerian people.

He added that there will be no “stormy session in the Senate on resumption as being peddled by a section of the media since both the leadership of the upper chamber and all Senators are at peace with each other and focused on working for the betterment of the country at all times.”

He said: “I want to confirm that the Senate will resume on Tuesday. We are set to carry out all our legislative responsibilities.

“I also want to use this opportunity to announce the resolve of the Senate, to do only those things that will promote the unity, prosperity and wellbeing of the Nigerian people.”
