The National Assembly has adjourned sitting till March 12, 2019, when the governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections would have been concluded.

 

The implication is that matters arising from the passage of the 2019 budget will have to wait until after the elections.

 

The NASS members had hoped to attend to the matters today if they had sat.

 

The leadership of both chambers adjourned plenary on Tuesday, as they were unable to form a quorum since no more than 10 lawmakers were available.

 

Senate plenary was presided over by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, while that of the House of Representatives was presided over by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.

 

The Assembly was scheduled to resume sitting on February 19, but had to postpone it by a week, following the rescheduling of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
