“This shift in time for resumption is due to the Opening Ceremony of the First Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Parliament, tomorrow (today) by 10.00 am which the President of the Senate will be attending.

“The Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau, will also be in attendance as he is the 1st Deputy Speaker of that Parliament.

“Any inconvenience this shift in time might have caused is highly regrettable.”
