The Presidency had on Monday announced that the President will be working from home.
Garba Shehu, The senior special assistant to the President on Media, said that Buhari would be working from home while renovations were carried out at his office at Aso Rock, the Nigerian statehouse.
According to him, “Following the three-month period of disuse, rodents have caused a lot of damage to the furniture and air conditioning units.
He explained that Buhari’s home had an office annex and that the efficiency of his work would not be affected by the renovations.
Shehu also said that the maintenance company responsible for the work had been asked to speed up the process, though he declined to put a date on when Buhari would return to the office.
