Nigerian Lawmakers Elect New Senate President, Speaker PremiumTimesng: Nigeria
The inauguration follows the end of the ninth session of the Senate and the House of Representatives and the proclamation of the new assembly by the country's president.
Today's inaugural ceremonies, which commence at 10 a.m., have two major components, namely the swearing in of the lawmakers-elect and the election of the presiding officers of the two chambers. However, the proceedings could hold simultaneously in both chambers since the House Standing Order now provides that the deputy CNA"shall preside over the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker" in the absence of the CNA.While all 109 senators-elect will take the oath of office today, only 358 members-elect will do so in the lower chamber.
