The move to renovate the National Assembly complex with N37 billion has generated reactions across the country. <br /><br />The N37 billion had been included in the Federal Capital Development Agency 2020 budget. <br /><br />Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), is aware of the planned renovation of the National Assembly complex in 2020. Lawan said, <br /><br />“When we resumed office (at) the National Assembly Complex, we noticed that many parts of the National Assembly complex were dilapidated. <br /><br />“We convened a meeting involving the management of the National Assembly, the Federal Capital Development Authority, Speaker of the House of Representatives and I. <br /><br />“We had an exhaustive engagement. The Speaker and I later met with Mr. President and we told him the situation of the complex. <br /><br />“Since the takeover of the complex, there was never, ever, any major rehabilitation or renovation, 20 years ago. <br /><br />“Mr. President responded by telling us that he was going to renovate the National Assembly.” <br /><br />In this vox pop, Nigerians share their thoughts on the budget for the renovation and how it affects the economy, cost of governance, and more. <br />
