The Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamilla, said yesterday that President Muhammadu Buhari is set to present the 2023 budget at a joint sitting of the National Assembly in the first week of next month.

However, the deputy remained silent on the possibility of submitting a budget after the inspection of the provisional council, which will resume next week, and the ongoing renovation work in the Senate. . The renovation of the House of Representatives, normally used for congresses, was still in the preparatory stages on Wednesday.

It will be ready in the next six months.

However, Gbajabiamila confirmed that the House of Commons may not be ready for the inauguration of the 10th Congress in June 2023, when Gbajabiamila called for the swift completion of ongoing renovations before the delivery deadline last month. He stressed, however, that the construction must be completed quickly so that the quality of the requested construction is not affected. accelerate. Meet deadlines.

In the conference room, Gbajabiamila listened to detailed explanations of the renovations and changes to the sitting areas of the House of Representatives, the House of Representatives, the Speaker, the Press Gallery, the roof and adjacent conference rooms. Gbajabiamila said these changes are "impressive" and will go a long way in helping parliamentarians fulfill their legislative duties in line with global standards. Great progress has been made. Between August and now; You can see that the whole room is demolished and the innovation will be at the top. We pride ourselves on having world-class rooms. So I'm very impressed with the work so far. I recommend doubling the speed because I favor 10th, not 9th. "By August next year, the whole room will be ready. So we're talking almost a year now and that shows the level of work we're working on."

While renovation work is ongoing in the Nation Room, members are remodeling to accommodate members who are regrouping next week after an annual break to hold plenary sessions in the temporary rooms set up in Banquet Rooms 028 and 231. Gbajabiamila said: “So far, things are going well. we are happy This temporary site where we will be staying for the next 9-10 months is far from where we are. It used to be a listening room. The Legislature has had a lot of revisions and a lot of innovation, and we're very happy with what we've done so far, so we're ready to go.”

He said the 10th plenary session could be held in a temporary hall, but the project manager had to complete the renovation of the main room months ahead of schedule. “If the work is not hurried, we can start the 10th General Assembly from here, but I do not want to rush the work and reduce the quality of the work, so it is better to delay, but it is a good thing. "Anything worth doing is worth doing right," he said. Asked if the temporary chamber could accommodate all 360 MPs, Gbajabiamila said: “The composition is not upstairs but on the top floor. So I think about 100 places and about 200 or so in terms of placement at that level. “But it's structured so that everyone can log in and see the screen. You can see all of the above. Whoever is the president can see both above and below."

Standing Member of the 11 billion National Assembly Building The President, who inspected the construction of the National Assembly Building, expressed his satisfaction with the level of construction so far. House Services Committee member Bassey Olusegun Etuk, who is overseeing the project, said the project would disrupt the committee, which is held in rented apartments far from Congress.

"This business is a permanent site for the Capitol, and the reason we moved here is because of the variety of security and proximity opportunities for service-oriented functions," he said. "There is enough space here, now I live in a rental apartment, where I meet all my needs, there are more parking spaces, there is an office and a wellness clinic with all the directors, the management team and the staff. Staff first, very close to Utako staff location. If there is a problem, it is very close. »

The 11.6 billion lei project is expected to be completed in 104 weeks, he added, but added that he is working around the clock to ensure the complex is ready by April, ahead of the expected completion date .
