Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has summoned an emergency meeting of the leadership of the two houses of the National Assembly scheduled for Tuesday.
The meeting is to attend to some important national issues requiring urgent attention.
An aide to Saraki, Bamikole Omisore, made the plan to convene the meeting known on Monday on his tweeter handle.
His tweet reads: “NASS leadership will tomorrow meet at noon to consider some national issues. The National Assembly leadership comprises both @NGRSenate and @HouseNGR.”
He said the meeting would be followed by another one with the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
“It will be followed by another meeting with the leadership of @inecnigeria led by its chairman, Prof Mahmud Yakubu,” Omisore added in the tweet.
It would be recalled that the Presidency, on Sunday, appealed to the National Assembly to reconvene in order to ensure smooth running of government.
The Presidency stated that having just passed the budget, there was need for the approval of supplementary fund which the break embarked upon by the National Assembly would make impossible.
It added that there were some pending matters before the National Assembly which would make governance difficult if not attended to.

The Senior Special Adviser (SSA) to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Ita Enang, made the call at a press conference held in Lagos.
He emphasized the need for harmony between the Executive and Legislative arms of government to ensure smooth running of government for the benefit of the people of the country.
His words: “We are appealing to Senate leadership and all caucuses of the National Assembly to see this as a clarion call for the good of the nation.
“As the Liaison Officer between NASS and the federal government, I know it is not the intention of the Lawmakers to make Nigerians suffer.”
