The National Assembly has adjourned plenary to September 16, to enable the lawmakers proceed on long annual vacation.

In the upper chambers, Senate leader, Victor Ndoma Egba, announced this yesterday, but said committee works would continue to enable the various committees to tidy up their work.

However, before the adjournment, the Senate considered and passed the conference committee report on Repeal and Re-Enactment of the Prisons Bill, by its Committee on Interior.

The Senate also received the report of its Committees on National Security and Intelligence, Defence and Army, Police Affairs and Interior, on fact-finding on the recent attacks and killings in Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Katsina, Zamfara, and Kaduna states.
