In the 2024 Appropriation Bill, lawmakers have allocated an extra N30bn to refurbish the National Assembly Complex. This additional funding is part of the N344.85bn budget assigned to the National Assembly, which was increased from the initial N197.93bn.
President Bola Tinubu signed this record-high budget on January 1. Consequently, the total amount allocated for renovating the National Assembly complex has now reached N60bn.
On June 30, 2023, Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced that in December of the previous year, Tinubu would oversee the inauguration of various ongoing projects valued at N30 billion at the National Assembly. As quoted by Punch, Senator Akpabio said:
“The entire complex of the National Assembly is like a construction site due to ongoing general renovation work and fresh projects which would, on completion, be inaugurated by President Bola Tinubu in December this year (2023).”
