The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday suspended its plenary and adjourned till November 24, 2020.
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan said the suspension of plenary for three weeks would enable Ministries, Department, and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government to appear before relevant committees to defend their 2021 budget estimates.
He said the period would also enable the Joint Senate Committees on Petroleum (Upstream, Downstream, and Gas) to conduct public hearings on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) which scaled second reading yesterday.
He warned that any MDA that fails to appear before the relevant committees to defend their estimates would have the figures allocated to them in the Appropriation Bill.
