The National Assembly has suspended all legislative activities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives until Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in honour of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday.
The announcement was made on Monday by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, following directives from Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
Lawmakers have been asked to adjust their schedules to allow full participation in burial activities for the late President, who is being laid to rest in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State.
The National Assembly extended condolences to Buhari’s family, the government and people of Katsina State, and the entire nation, describing him as a leader committed to Nigeria’s unity and known for his integrity.
They prayed for Allah’s mercy upon his soul and for his eternal rest in Aljannatul Firdaus.
