The Senate has suspended plenary for one week to enable its members participate in the zonal public hearing across the country.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, announced this at plenary on Wednesday. He said the exercise will hold in 12 centers across the country on May 26 and May 27.
“We shall be devoting the entire week to the constitution review exercise,” Lawan said.
The Senate President urged Nigerians to participate fully in the exercise as the National Assembly has no biased agenda but would be opened to suggestions from Nigerians on how to move the country forward.
Last week, Ovie Omo Agege, the Deputy Senate President, announced that the upper legislative chamber would hold the public hearings simultaneously across 12 state capitals with two of the exercises in each geo-political zone.
