June 26, (THEWILL) – The Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) has said the repair of the roof and other renovations of the National Assembly Complex in Abuja are undergoing procurement process.
This was disclosed on Friday night by the Head, Public Relations and Information, FCDA, Richard Nduul.
Nduul explained that the management of the NASS approached the FCDA in 2019 for a total rehabilitation and upgrading of the complex to bring it in tune with parliamentary buildings around the world.
He said that the contract would be awarded soon, in conformity with requirements of the Procurement Act and also considering all other relevant parameters.
He gave the assurance that the rehabilitation of the complex would be executed meticulously to ensure the nation got value for money expended.
According to him, this has been the tradition with every other assignment which the FCDA has undertaken.
He said: “The attention of the FCDA has been drawn to recent flooding of the lobby of the National Assembly complex, Abuja resulting from leakages from the roof.
”Our findings indicate that the leakages are traceable to blockages of drainages leading to seepage of water through expansion joints in the roof slab.
”Full waterproofing of the roof of the White House building is a major aspect of the proposed renovation of the complex.”
