The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has resolved to return to its main complex along Udo Udoma Avenue, Uyo, for legislative proceedings, despite stalled renovations and concerns over the facility’s condition.
The resolution was reached on Thursday during a special sitting of the House held at the assembly chambers, part of the complex where renovation works have stalled for over nine months.
The development came two days after PREMIUM TIMES reported the deplorable condition of the complex, its abandoned state, and concerns over the prolonged relocation of lawmakers to a temporary chamber at the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs within the Government House premises.
The House resolved to resume plenary at the main complex pending when the contractor issues a final evacuation notice for the section of the building where construction work is expected to take place.
The motion was moved by the member representing Essien Udim State Constituency, Prince Akpabio, and seconded by the member representing Okobo State Constituency, Bassey Bassey.
