Kebbi Assembly resumes plenary after one month recess

Kebbi State House of Assembly resumed plenary on Wednesday after a one-month recess.

The Assembly had suspended legislative activities in July and scheduled its resumption for August 11.

However, plenary resumed on Wednesday, August 19, under the leadership of Speaker Salihu Maikasuwa Dangoje.

The recess followed a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Faruku Aliyu Nassarawa Jega, and seconded by Faruku Abubakar Maisudan, which was unanimously adopted by the lawmakers.

At the resumed sitting, Dangoje congratulated members on the completion of their Lesser Hajj and urged them to remain committed to their legislative responsibilities.

The Speaker also called on lawmakers to prioritise the welfare of their constituents and maintain unity and cooperation in the discharge of their duties.

He expressed appreciation to Governor Nasir Idris for his support for the Assembly, saying cooperation between the executive and the legislative arms had contributed to the development of the state.

The resumption of plenary is expected to pave the way for the consideration of pending legislative matters and other issues affecting residents across the state.

During the recess, lawmakers were expected to engage with their constituents and identify issues requiring legislative attention upon their return.
