Senate to resume plenary on Mar. 21
The Clerk of the Senate, Chinedu Akubueze, has announced that plenary will be resumed on Tuesday, March 21, 2017. In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, he said that the plenary had been rescheduled from March 14 to March 21. All senators are requested to resume sitting in plenary by 10 a.m. prompt.

The Senate had previously suspended plenary to enable senators to participate in the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections. The election which was initially scheduled for March 11, was postponed to March 18 by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The resumption of the plenary will enable the Senate to attend to pressing national issues, including the passage of the 2017 budget. The Senate had earlier stated that the budget would be passed before the end of March.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, expressed his appreciation to the leadership of the Senate and all Senators for their cooperation and understanding during the period of the suspension of plenary.

The Senate had earlier stated that it was committed to ensuring that the 2017 budget is passed on time to enable the Federal Government to continue its efforts at improving the economy and providing essential services to Nigerians.

The Senate had also set up several committees to ensure that the budget is properly scrutinized and that there are no discrepancies or irregularities in the document before it is passed.

The committees have been working diligently to ensure that the budget is passed before the end of March, as stated earlier by the Senate President.

The resumption of the plenary will also enable the Senate to attend to other important issues, including the confirmation of some nominees for the Executive arm of government.

The Senate had earlier suspended the confirmation of some nominees due to issues arising from the Senate's disagreement with the Executive on the interpretation of certain sections of the Constitution.

It is expected that the Senate will continue to work with the Executive arm of government to ensure that these issues are resolved and that the nominees are confirmed without further delay.
