The Niger State House of Assembly on Tuesday suspended plenary indefinitely, citing “unresolved issues” with the executive arm of the state government.
The suspension followed a motion moved by Mohammed Abubakar-Kabir, member representing Chanchaga Constituency, popularly known as Ustaz, urging the House to suspend proceedings until all “unresolved issues” with the executive “are addressed.”
