The House of Representatives resumed plenary on Tuesday in Abuja amid rising cases of coronavirus in some states.

Recall that the Clerk to the House, Patrick Giwa, had announced the resumption on Sunday night in a memo via Twitter.

The House had adjourned plenary on March 24, a week before the Federal Government ordered lockdown in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja as well as Lagos and Ogun States as part of measures to curb the spread of the virus.

Giwa stated that the aides of the members and other staff of the House were to work from home for the time being.
