The Senate is to hold an emergency session on Thursday to consider the supplementary budget for the 2024 fiscal year.
The Senate has been on recess and was billed to resume on July 2.
However, the chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, said on Wednesday that the Senate would hold plenary on Thursday to deal with a variety of issues including appropriation.
“It’s our statutory resumption from the Sallah break. Senate has the constitutional power to regulate its sessions and we believe that we could gain one more legislative day to deal with national and constitutional issues, hence the bringing forward from the initial July 2.
“We hope to deal with issues concerning our further oversight on the appropriations and clear further the hanging issues of constitutional and electoral concerns. And clear outstanding bills and motions, expectedly before our annual recess, later in the year,” he said.
