BREAKING: FIRE OUT BREAK STALLS SENATE SITTING
BY NDIFREKE JACOB
The National Assembly led by Dr Bukola Saraki on Thursday, suspended its sitting following a fire outbreak that started in a section of the technical unit of the National Assembly.
Factsreporter learnt that, the plenary was abruptly stopped while the lawmakers, staff, business officials and other activities were moved to secured areas in the complex to avoid the fire.
However, Senator Ibrahim Gobir of Sokoto-APC, had moved that the plenary be adjourned due to the “inconducive” state of the chamber after adoption of votes and proceedings.
“The condition is not very conducive because our chambers are there; yesterday we engaged the contractors working in the senate. We believe it is now Saturday they will be able to finish it.” He said
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who approved the prayer, said
“What you presented to us makes sense. Definitely the chamber is not conducive for today’s s activities and as such, I would direct that we adjourn till Tuesday so that between now and the weekend the members of the services and maintenance unit can ensure that we bring the chamber into a conducive environment.”
