The House of Representatives has been forced to adjourn plenary over the non-availability of order paper for the day’s plenary.
The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, who was visibly angry, said he would hold all the staff responsible for the failure of the Order Paper to be produced for Thursday’s plenary February 3.
Before the adjournment, the Speaker complained that only a few lawmakers were present at the chamber. H
e added that, to his astonishment, the Order Paper was also not available for the day’s business to start.
The Order Paper is a publication containing the order of bills, motions, reports and meetings to be treated on a legislative day.
The Speaker, therefore, called for adjournment of the plenary to Tuesday, February 8th, 2022. Peter Akpatason (APC, Edo) moved a motion for the adjournment and was seconded.
