Senate, Reps Set To Resume Plenary In New Chambers After To Years Of Renovation [PHOTOS]
Members of the senate and house of representatives are set to resume plenary in renovated chambers.
The legislators will resume plenary on Tuesday (today) after a break spanning more than five weeks.
The parliamentarians had begun their Easter and Eid el-Fitr vacations on March 20.
They were supposed to meet again on April 16, but the meeting was rescheduled.
On Monday, the house of representatives’ leadership, led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his predecessor Femi Gbajabiamila, examined the green chamber.
The renovation of the chamber began in April 2022.
Since then, the legislators have been using a temporary chamber in one of the committee rooms.
In 2019, the national assembly budgeted over N30 billion for the renovation of the complex, but the amount had sparked criticisms.
The sum was later reviewed to N9 billion.
