An early morning downpour in Abuja on Tuesday caused the roof of the National Assembly building to leak water.

The leaking roof also caused the water to splash to the lobby of NASS.

Cleaners had a hectic time trying to scoop the water from the lobby in order to control it from flowing into the Chambers.


However, this development did not hinder the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan from presiding over the plenary.

Recall that the leadership of NASS in 2020 approved N37bn for the renovation of the edifice built about 27 years ago.

The proposal sparked reactions from the public including Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).
