The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, made the announcement after approving the votes and proceedings for Thursday’s plenary session.
He, however, said the various committees of the Senate would be working during the vacation.
Lawan urged the committees on Petroleum (Upstream and Downstream) and Gas to engage the executive arm of government, particularly the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and the Department of Petroleum Resources, on the Petroleum Industry Bill to be submitted to the National Assembly.
He stated, “It is our hope and desire that we are able to break the jinx that has visited the PIB since 2007.
“If we are able to do it, we will get more revenue into the coffers of the Federal Government as well as attract and retain investments into the oil and gas sector in Nigeria.”
