National Assembly goes on annual recess

The Senate and the House of Representatives have embarked on their annual recess.

The two chambers of the National Assembly commenced the recess after passing some bills.

Some bills passed by the National Assembly include the amendment to the minimum wage law, President Bola Tinubu’s request to increase the 2024 budget by N6.2 trillion, amendment to the the Police Act and an amendment to the 2023 Finance Act, among others.

Speaking on Tuesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio said Tinubu might sign the minimum wage bill before Friday.

However, some committees of the National Assembly are scheduled to meet this week and next, while both chambers will resume on September 17.
