The National Assembly has suspended all legislative activities until Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in honour of Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday in London after a prolonged illness.

Kamoru Ogunlana, Clerk of the National Assembly, announced the suspension in an official statement issued on Monday.

“I am directed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to inform all members of the National Assembly and the general public that all legislative activities are hereby suspended immediately until Tuesday, 22 July, 2025,” the statement read.

Lawmakers have been advised to adjust their schedules to ensure full participation in the late president’s funeral and related activities.

The leadership of the Senate and House extended condolences to the nation, the government of Katsina State, and President Buhari’s family—including his wives, children, and extended relatives.

“President Muhammadu Buhari will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s unity and his integrity,” the statement added.
“May Almighty Allah grant him eternal rest in Aljannatul Firdaus.”
