Ekpo stated that the corridor linking the White House lobby to the Senate President’s office will henceforth be reserved exclusively for “senators and members of the House of Representatives.”

The memo explicitly explained that “aides and personal assistants will no longer be permitted access to the passage.”

The memo read: “You are kindly requested to disseminate this information to distinguished senators who would in turn intimate their aides or personal assistants as appropriate.”

Etido Ekpo, a retired brigadier-general, said the restrictions are aimed at ensuring a “secure and safe environment” for legislative duties.

The National Assembly is scheduled to resume plenary on October 7 after a recess of more than two months.
