10th Kaduna Assembly Begins Sitting Today

The Kaduna State government yesterday said the first session of the 10th Assembly of the Kaduna State House of Assembly will hold today in the Parliament Building, Lugard Hall, Kaduna.

This came after the dissolution of the 9th Assembly on Thursday the 8th of June, 2023 by the Kaduna State governor, Sen. Uba Sani.

In a statement issued by the governor’s chief press secretary, Muhammad Lawal Shehu, he said the historic session marks a new chapter in the legislative history of Kaduna State and demonstrates the commitment of the government to uphold democratic principles and ensure good governance.

He said the proclamation signifies the commencement of a new legislative session and sets forth an agenda for addressing pressing issues facing the people of Kaduna State.

The statement said Governor Sani is expected to deliver an address at the occasion, outlining his administration’s priorities for the new legislative term.

Shehu added that the first session of the 10th Assembly is an opportunity for stakeholders to come together and work towards a brighter future for the people of Kaduna State.

The statement said: “Kaduna State government is pleased to announce that the first session of the 10th Assembly of Kaduna State House of Assembly will hold tomorrow, the 13th of June, 2023 at 10am in the Parliament building, Lugard Hall, Kaduna.

“This development follows the issuance of the proclamation instrument by the Governor, Senator Uba Sani, in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by Subsection (3) of Section 105 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).”

The first session will witness the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected members and subsequent election of principal officers such as speaker and deputy speaker.
