The anticipated resumption of the Nigerian House of Representatives has been postponed by one week.
“The Sallah proper will be on Monday, September 12, just one day to the original resumption date," a top official at the National Assembly said according to Punch.
“Taken that the Federal Government will naturally declare Monday and Tuesday (September 13) as public holidays to mark the Sallah, it is no longer feasible for the House to reconvene on September 13.
“We are now looking at a date from Tuesday, September 20," the official said
This implies that the expected action of the 360-member legislature on the budget padding allegations leveled against the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, and three other principal officers, will be delayed by at least one week.
