Work has resumed at the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly complex after months of inactivity, following a series of Premium Times reports that raised questions about the stalled ₦15.47 billion rehabilitation project.
The rehabilitation scheme, which was intended to refurbish the assembly complex, had been delayed for an extended period. Premium Times investigations highlighted concerns about the project's progress, funding and management, prompting public scrutiny.
In response to the media coverage, state officials announced that construction work has restarted, with contractors re‑commencing activities at the complex.
Akwa Ibom State, located in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region, is home to the state house of assembly, the legislative hub for the state’s lawmakers. The rehabilitation project is aimed at improving the facilities that support the state’s legislative functions.
