The Chambers of the National Assembly began to leak profusely on Tuesday morning following a heavy downpour in Abuja.

Most affected was the foyer of the White House.

Cleaners in the National Assembly were immediately deployed to place containers at the leaking spots to collect the flowing water into buckets.

The cleaners were equally seen mopping and drying up the arena which was becoming flooded.

Some Senators already in Chambers came out to have a view of the development.

Most of them were seen discussing the incident.

It would be recalled that the National Assembly had earmarked N37billion in the 2021 budget for repair of the complex.

The figure however generated uproar and condemnation from a wide spectrum of Nigerians who contended that the amount was too huge.
