As of the time Naijaonpoint is filing this report, Meranda was spotted making her way into the chamber to commence today’s plenary session.

At about 1:35 p.m., journalists were granted access to the complex, while lawmakers held a strategic meeting at the assembly garden ahead of the scheduled plenary later this afternoon.
