Honestly, 37bn for a government property isn't too much. Many countries probably spend more.
But in a country where most people live on less than a dollar per day, I think this is misplacement of priorities.

It isn't but check what was budgeted for health. You will understand the reason for the outcry.

The approvals by FG must be in exchanged for something probably loans.

If they are spending N35bn on just renovation, wondering how much it would cost to build from scratch.

Time of reckoning awaits all our politicians..
Nothing like reckoning bro this guys are living there best life on our expense

N37billion for renovation not too much?
Have you ever been to national assembly before?
Do you know what N37,000,000,000 can do in terms of quality infrastructure?

No! The money is too much!

The leaderships in Nigeria; the executive, legislators, the security arms etc can do whatever they want, and always get their bindings.
They know they are dealing with docile, unresponsive, poverty stricken, and ethnically divided citizens that doesn't have a common ground to stand up against them.
The few outspoken ones trying to push to the public domain, the anti-masses policies, are termed "Hate speach" apostles. Hence, their resolve to introduce the Bill.
They forgot anyway that power is transient

I said this to someone recently, the N37bn was definitely a 'scratch my back I scratch yours' deal between the exec and legislative, probably for approval of the $30bn loan.

Of that N37bn probably N1 or N2bn can be used for renovation; the remaining 35 will end up as bonuses for NASS members. It's at times like this you need a Dino on the floor, but would even Dino resist the temptation?

The United States Capitol dome is the dome situated above the rotunda of the United States Capitol. The dome is 288 feet (88 m) in height and 96 feet (29 m) in diameter.[1] It was designed by Thomas U. Walter, the fourth Architect of the Capitol, and constructed between 1855 and 1866 at a cost of $1,047,291 (equivalent to $14.5 million in 2018[2]).[3]
The above fact is from Wikipedia. It simply translates that the cost of the US capitol hill which is the seat of legislature is around 5.22 billion. That's is Interesting. Let them build that type and return 30 billion back to the treasury. They can share the over 700 million naira remaining among themselves. Bunch of thieves

The US capitol which housed congress and the senate was built in the early 1800's and still standing and still in use today, but this guy is saying the national assembly complex built 21 years ago is about to collapse.

Our leaders rulers in this Country actually knows what is right. They only care to do 'what is right' when it concerns them.

You see how he is concerned about the safety of the occupants of the building and reminding us that it is Federal Government property?

Talking about dilapidated buildings:
Has he been to our general hospitals, our universities' hostels, our markets... These infrastructures are like coffins waiting to close upon it's occupants.

But all of a sudden the Complex is showing signs of imminent collapse, it is 'showing signs' meanwhile other aforementioned infrastructures are already collapsing.

I hope 2020 will see the end of some of these rogues

Criminals. Karma has got all your numbers. In the midst of biting poverty you spend billions on immateriality that would add no value to the nation. Soon your partners in crime the executives will seek new oppressive taxes to fund your profligacies in the name of lack of funds.

Truth be told,it is lack of transparency in the Governmental system that make the public to be complaining ,every structure needs proper and timely maintenance . No sentiment should be applied. The question is; will those concern use that sum judiciously to do the budgeted works? .

No body is saying renovating the National Assembly is Bad but 37billion to renovate only the NASS is too much for goodness sake.
There's what they call scale of preference and NASS renovation shouldn't even go into the list if you table the Nations challenges.
As politician and leaders the people should come first and not you.
The people who elected you has clearly kicked against such quest and your busy calling the public outcry as unnecessary? Are these politicians reasonable at all?
There are over 37 teaching hospitals across the nation which lack cheap and basic amenities, if that money is shared equally amongst all these hospitals it'll go a long way in helping the masses you swore to protect..

I'm certain none of you can publicly defend such amount for renovation, the few senators invited by TV stations are always trying to dodge the questions or claim ignorance on the idea which made them look stupid at the end..

If the NASS respect its citizens they'll either cut the fee by more than 90% or totally shun such quest, if they don't then we the masses would stop wailing and properly lead a total revolution.

Both PDP and APC senators are quiet on these one as it fits their pocket the most.


what I am very sure of is that they don't need up to that amount to renovate the building, how much did it take to construct the whole building that they now want to spend such amount on renovation they should kuku pull down the building and reconstruct with such amount, we are talking about billions here not millions they should fear God in that NASS

The pertinent question calling for an answer is : How well constructed in the first place are the public buildings in the FCT? Most of the public buildings in Abuja will fail the integrity test as they are not worth their money’s worth in terms of the stated cost of construction. At the root of all these is corruption and a desperate bid to find an avenue to steal from the public till via inflation of contracts. Lord Lugard buildings in Lokoja is still standing. Congress buildings in US, State House Marina, MOJ Marina, Cocoa House, Ibadan, Many Hotel Buildings in US built in the 20’s and 30’s are still standing! The leaking dome was poorly constructed in the first place! Sad!!!
