The National Assembly is expected to resume plenary on Tuesday, October 13, following a two-week break, with attention focused on legislative priorities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Senate and House of Representatives are expected to reconvene at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja amid public expectations for electoral reforms, improved governance and greater accountability.
The lawmakers had earlier postponed their September 15 resumption to allow renovation and structural rehabilitation works in both chambers before briefly reconvening and adjourning again until Tuesday.

With preparations for the 2027 general elections gathering momentum, lawmakers are expected to face renewed calls to address outstanding electoral matters and strengthen the legal framework governing the electoral process.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revised the election timetable, scheduling the presidential and National Assembly elections for January 16, 2027, while the governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections are slated for February 6.
The revised timetable has heightened expectations for effective legislative oversight and timely action on electoral issues within the constitutional responsibilities of the National Assembly.
Beyond electoral reforms, Nigerians will also be looking to lawmakers for progress on pending bills, economic challenges, insecurity and other pressing national concerns.
As the National Assembly resumes, public expectations remain high for meaningful debates, prompt legislative action and greater accountability in addressing issues affecting citizens.
