The House of Representatives has announced a scheduled plenary session for Wednesday, July 31, 2024, following the directive of Speaker Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen.
According the House Spokesman Rep. Akin Rotimi Jr, Honourable Members have been summoned from their respective constituencies to attend this crucial session, as communicated by the Clerk of the House, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, Esq., through an internal memorandum issued on Sunday.
The House commenced its annual recess on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. This recess allows Honourable Members to engage extensively with their constituencies, ensuring the legislative process remains responsive to public input. It also facilitates in-depth grassroots engagements, enhancing understanding of constituents’ needs and priorities.
However, it is customary for the House to reconvene from recess to address pressing national issues. The upcoming session will focus on critical matters requiring immediate legislative attention. Honourable Members are expected to ensure their presence for this significant meeting.
Additionally, the reconvening will feature a town hall meeting hosted by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen on Wednesday at the National Assembly. Organised in collaboration with YIAGA Africa and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), the town hall will bring together youth leaders, students from tertiary institutions, young professionals, and representatives from various youth organisations and civil society groups.
This town hall is a key component of the Legislative Agenda of the 10th House, which emphasises sustained youth engagement and the promotion of youth political participation. It aims to provide a platform for young Nigerians to voice their concerns, share their ideas, and engage directly with legislative leaders on issues affecting their lives and futures. This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between policymakers and the younger generation, ensuring that policies and laws are inclusive and address the specific needs of the youth.
The 10th House of Representatives remains committed to representing the interests of the Nigerian people and advancing the nation’s development.
