Addressing Parliament on Wednesday, 5th March 2025, Dr Asiama explained that his predecessor had already moved into the facility before leaving office.
He emphasised that the move was permitted under the contract. “The project is about 98% complete. Since my predecessor had already taken occupancy, I had no choice but to continue using it while the remaining processes are finalised,” he added.
