The shift was disclosed in a memo to all members, signed by the Clerk of the Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, who requested senators and representatives to adjust their schedules accordingly. He noted that committee activities will continue during the break.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has assured Nigerians of the speedy passage of the constitutional amendment bill.
