The long-awaited commencement of the 10th National Assembly inauguration has arrived.
The event has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.
This is according to an announcement signed by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal, on Thursday.
At this momentous event, a total of 109 senators-elect and 359 members-elect of the House of Representatives will take their oaths of office.
Iwitnesslive recalls that following the general elections on February 25, a member-elect from Taraba State, Isma’ila Maihanchi, who was set to represent Jalingo, Yerro, and Zing Federal Constituencies, unfortunately, passed away. This unfortunate incident resulted in the reduction of the available number of members-elect from 360 to 359.
Tambuwal added that the senators-elect and members-elect are required to convene at the Senate conference room 231 and the House of Representatives conference room 301, respectively, on Monday, June 12, at 10:00 a.m. They must bring along their code of conduct clearance, certificates of return, and valid identity cards for registration.
He also stated that only the senators-elect and the members-elect will be given access to the legislative chambers.
“Due to the ongoing renovation of the two chambers, senators-elect and honorable members-elect are to come along with only one guest for the ceremony, who will be seated at the arcade,” he said.
