The Senate, on Tuesday, said that it would adjourn plenary next week to give lawmakers the time for campaigns ahead of the coming polls.
The upper chamber only recently resumed plenary from a three-week break after adjournment in December last year.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, who disclosed this during the plenary, said plenary would be suspended to prepare for elections.
“We are prepared to sit up to Friday this week to attend to all urgent issues requiring our attention, so we don’t have to sit next week in view of the forthcoming elections,” Lawan said.
The break was conceived to allow lawmakers contesting for offices to campaign and do other things.
