After Weeks of Lull, Senate Resumes Debate on Key Bills, Including 20-Year-Old Budget Oversight Proposal.

Chief of Staff to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Chinedu Akubueze, has confirmed that the Senate is reconvening plenary today, with a packed agenda led by long-delayed security and electoral reform debates, after weeks of legislative lull.

Among the bills and motions now awaiting urgent attention are the proposed National Security Summit, Electoral Act amendments, Constitution Alteration Bill of two thousand and twenty-five, and the National Assembly Budget and Research Office Bill, a twenty-year-old proposal aimed at strengthening fiscal oversight through independent budget analysis.

Meanwhile, the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, is set to officially resume plenary sessions, along with other lawmakers, after serving her six-month suspension, according to one of her lawyers, Victor Giwa.
