Director of Information,
National Assembly Abuja, Rawlings Agada has said the sum of N37 billion,
approved for the renovation of the National assembly complex may not be enough
for the work. The lawmakers on Tuesday approved the large sum for renovation work
on the complex and another N1 billion for constitutional amendment.
But speaking with some journalists in Abuja,
Agada said the complex is in shambles, stressing that the national assembly
dome had been leaking for many years. He said: “That National Assembly needed a
lot of work and I don’t think even that amount of money can take care of all
those things because even the dome has been leaking and there is fear that if
the repairs are not done, we might suffer greater problems in the future.
He added that the leadership of the National
Assembly took note of that pursuant to the concerns raised by the management.
“That is just that because I don’t have the details of the budget but I am
aware that there is a lot that needs to be done”, he said. Ahmed Lawan, the
senate president, is expected to inaugurate a team that will oversee the
project in the New Year, 2020.
