ABUJA — President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has threatened legal action against the contractor responsible for the renovation of the National Assembly complex over persistent technical faults affecting facilities in both the Senate and House of Representatives chambers.

Akpabio, who spoke during plenary on Wednesday, expressed displeasure over repeated microphone failures in the Senate chamber, describing the situation as an embarrassment to the country.

The Senate President said he was embarrassed by the state of the facilities during the opening of the 2026 National Assembly Open Week at the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
