Ekiti State House of Assembly will resume plenary next Monday after weeks of inactivity following the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity, Mrs. Yemisi Ayokunle, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti, said a good part of the assembly’s meetings and activities would be through virtual conferencing.

Ayokunle said: “Ekiti Assembly has decided to resume plenary on Monday, May 4, after weeks of suspension due to lockdown to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The resumption is without prejudice to all the established protocols of prevention of the virus.

” However, a good part of our meeting will be through virtual conferencing.”

She added that the House resumption is in line with the state government’s directive for public servants on grade level 13 above and those rendering essential services in the state to resume on May 4.
