    The scope of the project includes the construction of a new Assembly Service Commission building, renovation of the main legislative chamber, refurbishment of the dilapidated administrative block, and renovation of the committee buildings, among other components.

    Inaugurating the project at the Assembly premises, Governor Mohammed said the initiative is aimed at providing a more conducive environment for legislative activities in line with his administration’s urban renewal policy.

    Governor Mohammed, who said the project will be undertaken under the urban renewal programme of his administration, disclosed that 50 per cent of the N7.8 billion earmarked for the remodeling and upgrading of the State House of Assembly Complex has already been disbursed to the contractor.

    He recalled that the Abubakar Umar Secretariat housing the State Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the government was also renovated under the same programme to provide a conducive working environment for the public and civil servants that constitute the engine room for governance.

    According to him, “All secretariats of the local government councils have been reconstructed and provided with necessary working materials and machineries as a means of improving service delivery at the grassroots.”

    “The expansion of the State High Court complex, and award of contract for the completion of 12 new magistrate courts is geared to make it more effective in the discharge of its core functions.”
