An early morning downpour on Tuesday led to the leaking of the National Assembly roof with water splashing to the lobby of the federal parliament.
The leaking roof also spread to the Press Centre in the Senate wing of the nation’s apex legislative institution.
The leadership of the National Assembly had in 2020 approved N37bn for the renovation of the edifice, built about 27 years ago.
Cleaners had a hectic time scooping water from the floor while the development delayed the sitting of the senators who resumed on Tuesday after a one-week break to mark the end of their second legislative year.
