Construction Company debunks roof leakage in NASS . .says report driven by ‘bad belle’

By George Mgbeleke
The Managing Director of Laralek Ultimate Construction Company , Olalekan Adebiyi has debunked media reports on purported roof leakage at the white house segment of the National Assembly on Friday during storming downpour .
An online platform had in the early hours of Saturday , reported that the violently storming rain that fell on Friday , made mince meat of renovation work carried out by one of the subsidiaries of Laralek (Visible Construction Company ) on roofs and other areas of the National Assembly complex from 2022 to 2024.
The online medium in the report alleged that some staff of the National Assembly lamented that if the N38billion renovation work was given to Julius Berger , there wouldn’t have been problem of roof leakage again during rain fall , positing that the Federal Capital Development Authority( FCDA) that awarded the contract to Visible Construction Company , compromised .
But hours after the publication , the Managing Director of Laralek Ultimate Construction Company , Olalekan Adebiyi in a telephone conversation with journalists covering the National Assembly said the report was fake as investigation carried out by them through their subsidiary company used to execute the contract ( Visible Construction),, revealed that there was no leakage from the roof at the White House segment of the National Assembly
According to him, Amothene , imported from United States of America ( USA) and applied to the points of leakages on the roof , is water tight and can never leak .
” The report to us , is unfounded and simply put , bad belle because if it was Julius Berger that carried out the renovation work , no such fake report , will be written against it .
” I wonder why some Nigerians always like to be enemies of their fellow country men for no good reason whatsoever .
“We checked and found out that it was an ingress of water that came through the Smaller windows at the upper part of the Chamber Building that flooded the floor and not roof leakage .
” The said story or report , has no single picture of points of leakages from the roof which to us , is very unprofessional and unethical .
“The report is fake as there was no leakage from any point on the roof. We did a good job and stand by it and shall surely be vindicated as more and more rains will still fall in the coming weeks and months “, he said .
