  "account": "Construction has restarted at Nigeria's Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly complex following a series of reports by premium TIMES that questioned the stalled ₦15.47 billion rehabilitation project. The complex in Uyo, which had been unusable for nearly 11 months, saw workers molding concrete blocks, blockwork in the reception area, and restoring construction equipment. The resumption of work came ahead of the state's anniversary, during which 39 projects were commissioned, but the legislative complex remained in disrepair. Workers reported that preparations for resuming work began last weekend, with the actual rehabilitation work starting on Monday. However, uncertainty remains over the contractor's involvement, as a source familiar with the facility's activities expressed doubt about the sustainability of the renewed activity.",
