Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Wednesday, May 29 address the joint session of the National Assembly.
This was contained in a statement by the clerk of the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal.
In a statement released in the early hours of Tuesday, Tambawal announced that President Tinubu will address the lawmakers in the newly renovated chamber.
He stated that the occasion will be used to mark 25 years of democratic rule in the country.
“This is to inform Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members that as part of the event to commemorate 25 years of unbroken democracy and Legislature in Nigeria, there will be a joint sitting of both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, will address the joint sitting on state of the nation and also commission the National Assembly Library.
“Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members are expected to be seated by 9 a.m,” the statement stated.
Recall that President Tinubu had ordered that this year’s May 29 anniversary be celebrated on a very low-key note.
Tinubu was sworn in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 29, 2023.
He took over from former President Mohammadu Buhari who ruled for 2015 to 2023, after completing a second term tenure.
