The statement reads “Following the conclusion of the Presidential and National Assembly elections, and the formal release of the authentic list of Senators and Honorable Members-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Management of the National Assembly, in conjunction with the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) is now fully prepared for the induction of the Members-Elect of the 10th Assembly ahead of the inauguration in June 2023.
“The Induction program, which will be held in two batches, is scheduled to commence from May 7th to 13th 2023 with Batch A, while Batch ‘’B’’ will hold from May 14th to May 20th, 2023.
“The objectives of the Induction/Inauguration exercise are to expose Members-Elect to the functions of the National Assembly, its Practices and Procedures as well as the services available to them.
As part of the efforts to ensure a very successful Induction/ Inauguration exercise, the Management led by the Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Alh. Sani Magaji Tambawal has constituted a Central Planning Committee (CPC) made up of all National Assembly Secretaries.
“Membership was also drawn from the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) and the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS).
“The CPC, which is at the helm of the planning and implementation of the induction program as well as the formal inauguration of the 10th Assembly, has the Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly (DCNA), Barrister Kamoru Ogunlana as Chairman.
“The CPC is divided into eleven (11) specialized sub-committees to enhance effectiveness, efficiency, monitoring, and coordination.
“The Sub-committees include Programme Planning, Finance, Protocol and Ceremonials, Records and Documentation, Media and Publicity, Transport and Logistics, Venue and Accommodation.
Others are Security and Accreditation, Health and Medical Services, Civil Society Organisations/Development Partners, and the Rapporteurs Team.
“The Sub-committees, which report weekly to the CPC have since swung into action, holding strategy sessions and perfecting plans for a successful induction exercise. In fact, the Subcommittees are busy crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s and getting ready to proceed.
“It would be recalled that during the Inauguration of the CPC, the CNA Alhaji Tambawal who promised to deliver seamless Induction and Inauguration programs, charged the members to put in their efforts and work as a united team towards the achievement of the desired objectives.”
