The National Assembly has suspended all legislative activities until Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in honour of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday, July 13, in London at the age of 82.
The announcement was made on Monday, July 14, by Kamoru Ogunlana, Clerk to the National Assembly, on behalf of the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“In honour of his legacy and service to the nation, all plenary sessions in both the Senate and House are suspended,” Ogunlana stated.
Lawmakers have been asked to adjust their schedules to participate in funeral rites and official events in memory of the late leader.
Buhari’s Legacy
Born in Daura, Katsina State, Buhari served as military Head of State from 1984 to 1985 and later returned as democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023. His time in office was marked by a firm stance on anti-corruption, security reform, and efforts to promote national unity.
Tributes are expected across the country in the coming days, celebrating his contributions to Nigeria’s political and economic landscape.
