Additionally, Ndume lamented the poor audio quality, stating that it was challenging to discern speakers’ voices clearly.
Likening the renovated chamber to a mere “conference room,” the Borno South Senator emphasized the need for corrective measures.
“This is not a chamber, it is like a conference room,” Ndume remarked, expressing his disappointment.
Furthermore, he criticized the seating arrangement, suggesting that senators faced difficulties while standing up or sitting down.
Corroborating Ndume’s observations, Senate President Godswill Akpabio acknowledged that the renovation contract was awarded during the previous administration.
However, Akpabio clarified that the project was overseen by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), not the National Assembly.
“This is not our contract, it was a contract that was awarded in the ninth senate,” Akpabio stated.
