The Kebbi State House of Assembly reconvened for plenary proceedings on Wednesday following a one-month break. Legislative activities had been suspended in July, with a planned return on August 11. However, plenary resumed on August 19 under the chairmanship of Speaker Salihu Maikasuwa Dangoje. The recess resulted from a unanimous adoption of a motion presented by Majority Leader Faruku Aliyu Nassarawa Jega and seconded by Faruku Abubakar Maisudan.

Upon resumption, Dangoje acknowledged the completion of members' Lesser Hajj and encouraged them to remain dedicated to their legislative duties. He also urged lawmakers to focus on the welfare of their constituents, maintain unity, and foster cooperation in fulfilling their responsibilities. The Speaker expressed gratitude to Governor Nasir Idris for his support, attributing the state's development to the collaborative relationship between the executive and legislative branches.

The resumption of plenary is anticipated to facilitate the discussion of pending legislative matters and other issues impacting residents throughout the state. During the recess, lawmakers were tasked with engaging with their constituents and identifying matters needing attention upon their return. The Kebbi Assembly's resumption of plenary proceedings marks a crucial step in addressing the state's legislative needs.
