The Kogi State House of Assembly Complex, which was set on fire nine months ago by unknown individuals, is set to undergo renovation as the state government has officially awarded the contract for the project.
The contractor has been charged with the responsibility of ensuring quality work.
During the ceremony held in Lokoja on Friday, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Aliyu Umar Yusuf urged the contractor to complete the renovation within the stipulated eight-week period mentioned in the contract.
He emphasized that the Assembly would accept nothing less than the best quality work.
The Speaker commended the executive arm of the Kogi State government, led by Governor Yahaya Bello, for matching their promises with action.
He assured that the Assembly would focus on producing quality legislation once the renovation is completed.
Recalling the fire incident that occurred on October 10, 2022, which rendered the Assembly Complex unfit for legislative activities, the Speaker highlighted the necessity of the renovation.
During this time, the lawmakers had to resort to using the Speaker’s Official Lodge as an alternative venue for their sittings.
The Speaker expressed his appreciation to Governor Yahaya Bello for fulfilling his promise to the lawmakers that they would resume their legislative activities at the Assembly Complex after their recess.
He also assured the executive arm of the Assembly’s cooperation, emphasizing the importance of such collaboration for the overall development of the state.
