N30bn N’Assembly Renovation Project: Senate Threatens to Arrest Contractors Sunday Aborisade in Abuja The Senate yesterday threatened to arrest the management staff of Visible Concept, the construction firm, handling the N30
The Senate yesterday threatened to arrest the management staff of Visible Concept, the construction firm, handling the N30 billion renovation work at the National Assembly if the project was not completed on schedule.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello, had in June during the first on-the-spot assessment visit made by the Senate Committee on FCT, disclosed that the contractors, Messrs Visible Concept, had collected N9 billion mobilisation fee. He pointedly told the contractor that except for a miracle, the January 2023 deadline for delivery of transformed hallowed chambers would no longer be feasible.
“The non-completion of this project at designated times is even a threat to democracy itself because we don’t want the incoming government to inherit it as an abandoned one. Not comfortable with the response, Adeyemi told the Executive Secretary of FCDA to get in touch with the minister for more funds for the contractors.
