Nigeria’s Senate has chosen 12 senators to work with Nigeria’s House of Representatives on the Electoral Amendment Act, a set of proposed changes that has attracted strong public attention.
The President of the Senate of Nigeria, Godswill Akpabio, announced the list on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, during an emergency plenary session in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. The committee is expected to engage with the House of Representatives as lawmakers consider how to proceed on the planned electoral reforms.
Nigeria’s National Assembly is made up of two chambers. When both chambers are handling the same major bill, they often set up committees to coordinate positions and work towards an agreed text.
Among the senators named were Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and Senator Tahir Mungono. No further details were provided immediately after the announcement.
