The Senate Leader explained that the lack of maintenance of the National Assembly structures for two decades led to its current dilapidated condition, which makes it compelling for urgent, massive renovation.
The Senate Leader, who is the first principal officer of the National Assembly to explain how the N37 billion renovation allocation came about, also gave details of how the fund is likely to be applied.He said: “It is not even renovation; a lot of people don’t even understand what has happened. When we came in by God’s grace and by the grace of our party and our colleagues and they entrusted the leadership of the National Assembly into our hands, we looked into what is there in this Assembly.
“We did not even vote that money. What we did is that we found out that the place is not secured. First, the Senate President called the management and we sat with them in his office. And he asked them: what has happened to the maintenance of this building? They said it has not been maintained for over 20 years.
“So, who has the ultimate responsibility? The President. So, the Senate President and the Speaker ran to the President and told him: ‘Look, sir, the structural integrity of this dome is poor and the chambers can collapse any time.’
