Upgraded Ibadan Airport Welcomes Inaugural Flight

The Senate will make a decision on October 7, 2025, about the reinstatement of suspended legislator Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

This was revealed in an interview on Channels TV on Wednesday by Kenny Okolugbo, Consultant, Communication and Strategy, Office of the Senate President.

The senator from Kogi Central, Natasha, was recalled for a six-month suspension on March 6, 2025, for allegedly breaking Senate regulations.

The reason for her suspension was her disagreement with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, whom she accused of sexual harassment but he denied.

Tuesday marked the opening of the lawmaker’s office after the six-month suspension ended.

In spite of ongoing legal proceedings, it was unclear whether the member had been permitted to return to her official legislative duties.

The senators will make all further decisions when they reconvene on October 7th, Okolugbo said when asked if Natasha had only been granted access to her office and had not returned to her official responsibilities.

By emphasizing that Natasha has the “right to go to her office” now that the ban is ended, Okolugbo praised the upper parliamentary chamber’s leadership for opening her office.

After her six-month suspension ended, she was able to access her workplace and has every right to do so.

The Senate leadership made a smart choice, he continued, “even though the case is still at the court of appeals.”

Currently in recess, the Senate is scheduled to return to session on October 7, 2025, according to reports.
