The Fiji National Provident Fund has confirmed that it is now exploring other options to ensure returns for its members from the multimillion dollar complex under construction in Nasese.

With uncertainty now surrounding the agreement for the Fiji Island Revenue and Customs Authority to rent the FNPF's Nasese complex, FNPF Acting CEO Aisake Taito said they are now keeping their options open if FIRCA backs off from the deal.

Taito told Village news that talks have been underway since last November with FIRCA and they are now awaiting a response from the FIRCA Board on the proposals sent to them recently to rent out the complex.

FIRCA is reconsidering its tenancy contract on the new FNPF complex following a huge cost overrun on the project and the Fund's failure to deliver the building within the agreed time schedule.

A decision on whether FIRCA will rent out the complex which is expected to cost 2.2 million dollars, will be made by the FIRCA Board once a board chairman is appointed.

FNPF confirms that the construction of the complex will be complete in the next few months.
