Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has invited Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other members of the Senate to attend a project commissioning event in her constituency, just two months after her return from suspension.
During Thursday’s plenary session, Akpabio read Akpoti-Uduaghan’s invitation letter aloud to fellow lawmakers.
In the letter, the senator explained that the commissioning ceremony, scheduled for Sunday, November 2, in Ihima, Kogi State, would commemorate her second anniversary in the Senate.
“In marking my second-year anniversary as a serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I wish to invite fellow distinguished senators to join me for project commissioning in Kogi state,” the letter reads in part.
She stated that the meeting point for the event would be her residence located at Plot 101, Jimoh Akpoti Street, Ihima, Okene, Kogi State.
Akpoti-Uduaghan also noted that senators flying in for the event could land at the Obajana airstrip before proceeding to Ihima by road.
After reading the letter, Akpabio congratulated her on the milestone and upcoming project inauguration.
Earlier in the year, on February 20, Akpoti-Uduaghan had a heated exchange with Akpabio over seating arrangements in the Senate chamber. She later accused him of sexual harassment, an allegation the Senate President denied.
Subsequently, on March 6, the Senate suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months after adopting the report of the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.
Following her return to the upper legislative chamber on September 24 after serving the suspension, the senator has steadily resumed her parliamentary duties.
On October 18, she participated in a legislative retreat organized by the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development.
Earlier today, Akpoti-Uduaghan sponsored a bill seeking to establish a National Centre for Autism, along with six zonal centres across the country, to promote early diagnosis, research, education, and care for persons with autism spectrum disorders, ASD.
