Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has threatened legal action against the contractor responsible for renovating the National Assembly complex over persistent technical faults affecting the microphones in both the Senate and House of Representatives chambers.
Akpabio issued the threat during Wednesday’s plenary after senators repeatedly experienced difficulties with malfunctioning microphones while contributing to debates.
Expressing his frustration, the Senate President said the recurring technical problems had become an embarrassment to the legislature and the country.
He said, “Distinguished colleagues, I hope you are taking note of the fact that our microphones are not working well. You are taking note of it because I intend to take action.”
