The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday adjourned for a week following the inability of the upper legislative chamber to form a quorum.
The Red chamber requires 38 senators to carry out legislative activities at plenary.
Moving the motion for the adjournment, Minority Whip, Senator Phillip Aduda explained that most of the members were not at plenary because they went on oversight functions.
