Edo Assembly adopts 60 days sitting calendar
The Edo State House of Assembly has adopted a business calendar of 60 days to commence legislative activities for the first quarter of its first session.
The adoption of the business calendar followed a motion by Sunny Ojiezele, a PDP member representing Esan South-East, and seconded by Kingsley Ugabi (APC Estako East) on the house floor.
Moving the motion, Mr Ojiezele said the first session has 60 sitting days for legislative activities.
According to him, June, July, and August have 11, 26 and 23 days, respectively, while Thursdays and Fridays are for committee meetings and oversight functions.
In a voice vote, the lawmakers unanimously adopted the legislative calendar for the session.
During the plenary, the speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, thanked the Edo people for giving lawmakers the mandate to represent them.
He congratulated them on their successful inauguration, which marked the commencement of legislative activities.
Mr Agbebaku said, “We are here to ensure that the dividends of democracy get to our people. We will ensure that we work in synergy with the executive to make Edo great again.”
He thanked the governor for the opportunity and assured of the cooperation of the house to achieve the `Make Edo Great Again’ (MEGA) agenda of the governor.
