PROJECT UPDATE: NINE-STORY SECRETARIAT BUILDING COMPLEX
Progress continues steadily on the Bayelsa State Nine-Story Secretariat Building Complex.
Before the year ended, the ground floor and first floor were fully completed. Currently, work is ongoing on the second floor, now about 50% completed, with completion expected within the next two weeks. Columns rising to the third-floor soffit are already in progress, with column casting scheduled to begin next week.
By the first week of February, formwork for the third-floor beams and slab is expected to commence.
The project team is working day and night to meet targets, and by end of February, the structure should reach podium level. Even more encouraging blockwork has commenced from the ground floor, while finishes will progress alongside the structural carcass.
At this pace, the goal is to have the carcass completed up to the ninth floor before year-end.
This is what commitment, transparency, and good governance look like in action.
