House of Representatives has announced that, pursuant to the directive of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, a plenary session been scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
The spokesperson of the House of representatives, Rep Akin Rotimi Jr in a statement says Honourable Members have been duly summoned from their respective constituencies to attend this crucial session.
The statement reads in parts:
“This directive was communicated through an internal memorandum issued by the Clerk of the House, Dr.
“The House had commenced its annual recess on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
“It is, however, customary for the House to reconvene from recess to address pressing national issues. The forthcoming session will focus on critical matters requiring immediate legislative attention. Honourable Members are expected to make the necessary arrangements to ensure their presence”
“Additionally, the reconvening will facilitate a significant engagement with young Nigerians through a town hall meeting hosted by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D., 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 is designed to provide a platform for young Nigerians to voice their concerns, share their ideas, and engage directly with legislative leaders on issues impacting their lives and futures. This initiative aims 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 steadfast in its commitment to representing the interests of the Nigerian people and advancing the nation’s development”
