The Senate on Thursday, July 24, adjourned plenary sessions till Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

The resolution of the Senate followed its adoption of a motion moved by the Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, in his remarks after the motion was carried, said senators are expected to use the break period to conduct oversight functions.

 

 

He said each committee would be expected to submit a report on its oversight activities to the Senate upon resumption.

In a related development, The House of Representatives earlier has commenced its annual recess, adjourning legislative activities till September 23.

The motion to proceed on the two-month break was moved, seconded, and unanimously adopted by members during plenary.

Speaker Abbas Tajudeen announced the decision during the closing session on Wednesday, July 23, at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.

This customary break, a regular feature of the National Assembly’s legislative calendar, allows lawmakers to dedicate time to constituency activities, oversight functions, and personal engagements.

Speaker Abbas encouraged members to utilise the period to reconnect with their constituents, address local concerns, and monitor ongoing federal projects in their respective areas.
