The Nigeria Senate has announced the suspension of plenary for one week starting from Tuesday next week to enable its members participate in the zonal public hearing across the country.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, who made the announcement at plenary on wednesday said the exercise will hold in 12 centres across the country on 26 and 27th May 27.

Senator Lawan urged Nigerians to participate fully in the exercise as the National Assembly has no pre-concieved agenda but would be opened to suggestions from Nigerians on how to move the country forward.

Senator Lawan had earlier read a letter from the chairman of the constitution revuew committee, Deputy President of the Senate Ovie Omo-Agege announcing that, the committee will hold its zonal public hearing for review of 1999 constitution on May 26th and 27th.

He said the public hearing on proposals to alter the provisions of 1999 constitution was scheduled to hold in two centres in each of the six zeo political zones of the country.
