The Sokoto State House of Assembly has suspended all legislative activities till April 21, as part of measures to curtail the spread of Coronavirus in the state.

This followed a motion moved by the Assembly leader, Alhaji Bello Ambarura (APC-Illela) and seconded by Alhaji Mahmud Abdullahi (PDP- Kware), during Thursday’s plenary in Sokoto.

“This Assembly is not unaware of the proactive measure the government is taking against the virus that includes the closure of public and private schools. The Assembly is complimenting government efforts by suspending its plenary sitting and other legislative activities for the meantime.”
