The Nigerian Senate has informed Kogi Central lawmaker, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, that she cannot resume her duties yet, despite claiming to have completed her six-month suspension.
In a letter dated September 4, 2025, and signed by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, the Senate acknowledged receipt of Akpoti-Uduaghan’s notice of her intention to return on that date, which she stated marked the end of her suspension.
However, the Senate maintained that her suspension remains in effect pending the resolution of a Court of Appeal case she filed challenging the disciplinary action.
“The matter remains sub judice, and until the judicial process is concluded, no administrative action can be taken to facilitate your resumption,” the letter read in parts.
According to the letter, the Senate would only review her suspension after the court’s pronouncement.
