The National Assembly will reconvene plenary sessions on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, as lawmakers in both the Senate and the House of Representatives return from recess to resume legislative activities expected to focus on key national issues.
The resumption marks the continuation of deliberations on pending bills, budget implementation oversight, and pressing economic and security matters affecting the country. Lawmakers are also expected to review several committee reports and consider motions bordering on governance, public welfare, and policy reforms.
Sources within the Assembly disclosed that priority discussions would include fiscal policies, revenue generation strategies, and sectoral reforms aimed at addressing economic challenges. Committees that continued administrative work during the break are expected to present updates and recommendations for legislative action.
Ahead of the reconvening, some lawmakers emphasised the need for bipartisan cooperation to fast-track bills considered critical to national development. They noted that the coming plenary sessions would provide an opportunity to address public concerns over inflation, infrastructure funding, and social welfare programmes.
Observers say the return of lawmakers comes at a crucial time as Nigerians anticipate stronger legislative oversight of government policies and improved collaboration between the executive and legislative arms.
Security around the National Assembly complex in Abuja is expected to be heightened as plenary resumes, with parliamentary officials confirming that all procedural arrangements have been concluded for a smooth reopening of legislative business.
Further debates and resolutions from both chambers are expected in the coming weeks as the Assembly intensifies work ahead of the mid-year legislative calendar.
