Power Outage Delays Plenary At Senate
A prolonged power outage at the National Assembly on Tuesday delayed the commencement of plenary at the Senate Chambers as the lawmakers waited for about an hour before power was restored.
Commenting, Sen. Sunday Karimi (APC-Kogi) described the situation as uncommon.
“Since the commencement of the 10th Assembly, we’ve not had this kind of experience. Often times when we were sitting, we make use of the power generation set, unfortunately today, our generating set developed a fault,” he said.
On his part, President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, apologised to his colleagues for the power outage and assured that the problem was being addressed.
“The engineers are still working on the lights. It went off since morning, it’s even affecting some offices in the fourth floor.
