0

The sitting of the Senate was abruptly ended today when a fire broke out from the technical room adjacent to the hallowed chamber forcing to adjourn till Tuesday.

Senator Ibrahim Abdullahi Gobir representing Sokoto east moved for adjournment on the excuse that the chamber was unconducive.

He said, ‘The condition of our chamber is very unconducive. Yesterday, we engaged the contractors working in the Senate. We believe it is now Saturday they will be able to finish it. I, therefore, move that we adjourn this sitting until Tuesday next week. I, so move’. Gobir averred.

This was approved by the majority and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki hit the gavel in affirmation of the adjournment.
