The Senate lobby of the National Assembly Complex on Tuesday
was filled with water with the cleaners battling to clean and control water
from flowing into the Senate Chambers.
The water was leaking directly from the roof, but visitors
and Senators coming into the Senate chambers at about 11.00 am became
bewildered where such amount of water could be coming from.
Some Senators also stood to see the leaking water that the
cleaners were trying to control even as journalists and photographers were busy
taking pictures.
However, the National Assembly complex is the property of the Federal Capital Territory Administration and its maintenance too.
Recall that the sum of N37 billion was budgeted for the
maintenance of the complex in the 2020 budget which elicited wild reactions
from the public including the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).
The controversy that trailed the budget which was considered
too humongous led to its reduction but it wasn’t approved by the Federal
Executive Council, NE learnt.
Amid the leaking roof of the lobby, Senate President, Dr.
Ibrahim Ahmad Lawan entered the chambers at exactly 11.00am to preside over the
plenary.
