The House of Representatives has postponed its resumption from annual recess due to the forthcoming Eid El-Kabir celebrations, The Punch reports.
A senior National Assembly official on Sunday, stated that “The Sallah proper will be on Monday, September 12, just one day to the original resumption date.
“Taken that the Federal Government will naturally declare Monday and Tuesday (September 13) as public holidays to mark the Sallah, it is no longer feasible for the House to reconvene on September 13.
“We are now looking at a date from Tuesday, September 20.”
The House of Representatives had proceeded on their annual recess on July 20 and were scheduled to reconvene on September 13.
The postponement would delay the deliberation on the allegations levelled against Speaker Yakubu Dogara and nine other principal officers of the House by Jibrin.
