Nigeria’s Senate has remained in closed-door session for over two hours, deliberating on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.
Last week, the Senate constituted a seven-member ad-hoc committee, chaired by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Niyi Adegbomire to consolidate contributions, harmonise views, and distil the opinions of senators ahead of plenary consideration of the bills.
The committee was given 48 hours to complete its assignment and submit a report to the Senate before the next plenary session.
However, when the Senate reconvened on Tuesday and concluded preliminary motions, lawmakers again proceeded into a closed session to further deliberate on the proposed amendments.
As of 3pm., the Senate was still in a closed session, with deliberations ongoing.
