Senate President Godswill Akpabio has threatened legal action against the contractor responsible for renovating the National Assembly’s chambers after repeated failures in the microphone system disrupted proceedings.During a plenary session, multiple microphones malfunctioned, causing echoes and disrupting legislative work.

Akpabio highlighted that the defective sound system also embarrassed him and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas during the National Assembly Week opening ceremony.

He emphasized that the same contractor handled both the Senate and House of Representatives renovations, urging lawmakers to take note of the technical issues.Concerns about the quality of the renovation have persisted since 2024, with lawmakers criticizing the outcome despite significant funding.

Akpabio warned that further failures would lead to legal steps to ensure accountability, stressing that the situation is an embarrassment to the nation.The article also mentions related news about Nigeria’s power sector and agricultural funding initiatives.
