FG to begin work on stalled National Library project in June
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, has declared that the first phase of the National Library will be completed by June.
Alausa made this commitment yesterday during an on-the-spot monitoring and assessment of the national library project in Abuja.
He stated that the first phase of the project would include two basement levels, the ground floor, first and second floors, as well as all external works, including perimeter fencing.
Alausa explained that variations in the bill of quantities contributed to the delay in completing the project.
“There have been numerous variations in this project. Even the contractor’s quotation from a few years ago, which was about N90 billion, contains several conflicting elements,” he explained.
