Kebbi Assembly begins one-month recess, suspends legislative activities

Kebbi State House of Assembly has suspended legislative activities for a one-month recess and is expected to resume plenary on August 11, 2026.

The decision was announced on Wednesday by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Salihu Maikasuwa Dangoje, during plenary at the Assembly Complex in Birnin Kebbi.

The recess followed the adoption of a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Hon. Faruku Aliyu Nassarawa Jega, seeking the suspension of sittings until August 11. 

The motion was seconded by Hon. Faruku Abubakar Maisudan and received unanimous support from members.

Following the resolution, the Speaker formally adjourned the House and urged lawmakers to use the recess to engage with their constituents and identify challenges affecting their communities.

Dangoje encouraged members to maintain close contact with the people during the break and gather feedback that would support legislative activities when the Assembly reconvenes.

The one-month recess is part of the Assembly’s legislative calendar and is expected to provide lawmakers with an opportunity to attend constituency engagements before the commencement of a new legislative session.

The Kebbi State House of Assembly is scheduled to resume plenary on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
