The long-awaited commencement of the 10th National Assembly is finally upon us.
According to an announcement made by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal, the inauguration is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.
During this significant event, 109 Senators-elect and 359 members-elect of the House of Representatives will be sworn-in.
It is worth noting that following the general elections held on February 25, there was an unfortunate incident where Isma’ila Maihanchi, a member-elect from Taraba State representing Jalingo, Yerro, and Zing Federal Constituency, passed away. As a result, the total number of available seats decreased from 360 to 359.
Tambuwal emphasized that the senators-elect and members-elect are required to bring their code of conduct clearance, certificates of return, and valid identity cards for registration at the Senate conference room 231 and the House of Representatives conference room 301 on Monday, June 12, at 10:00 a.m.
Additionally, Tambuwal clarified that only the senators-elect and members-elect will be granted access to the legislative chambers.
“Due to the ongoing renovation of the two chambers, senators-elect and Honourable members-elect are to come along with only one guest for the ceremony, who will be seated at the arcade,” Tambuwal said.
