The 10th Senate will resume plenary on October 7, with lawmakers expected to consider key national issues, including the long-debated matter of local government autonomy.
Jackson Udom, Special Assistant on Media to the Senate President, said this in a statement on Sunday while outlining areas that will top the agenda as plenary resumes.
According to him, lawmakers will also focus on the 2026 Appropriation Bill, electoral reforms, constitution review, security, and economic growth.
He explained that despite the landmark ruling, governors were still controlling funds meant for councils through joint accounts.
Udom also noted that the 2026 Appropriation Bill to be submitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu before the end of the year will be a priority for the Senate.
