The Senate has issued a one month-ultimatum to the contractor handling the renovation of its chambers one month to rectify the frequent breakdown of the audio communication installed in the building or face its wrath.
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio issued the deadline during plenary on Tuesday.
He was visibly angry after his microphone malfunctioned during proceedings and told the Chairman, Senate Services, Sen. Karimi Sunday, to immediately liaise with the contractor and the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCDA), to ensure that the job was completed to the standards suitable to the status of Nigeria, as one of the largest parliaments in Africa.
“We give between now and one month to have a system suitable for this chamber installed or we make further decisions,” he said.
The renovations include the installation of facilities to enable real-time interpretation of proceedings in multiple languages, aligning with practices in other legislative bodies worldwide.
He emphasised that failure to meet the deadline would prompt the Senate to take decisive action.
