Akpabio Threatens Legal Action Over Faulty National Assembly Renovation
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has warned he will take the contractor who refurbished the National Assembly complex to court after repeated technical failures. Despite billions of naira reportedly spent, senators have battled malfunctioning microphones, poor audio quality and a broken electronic voting system since returning in April. These glitches forced both chambers to abandon electronic voting and revert to manual voting during key constitutional amendment debates. During Wednesday’s plenary, Akpabio said he and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas felt “thoroughly embarrassed” by the faulty installations at the opening of National Assembly Open Week. He noted that the same contractor handled both the Senate and House renovations. Senate leaders are now documenting each technical problem as evidence ahead of possible legal proceedings to ensure the work meets acceptable standards.
