Buhari Yet To Use Office Seven Weeks After 'Rats Invasion'

President Muhammadu Buhari has yet to return to his office inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja nearly two months after he returned to the country from London medical trip, ThePunch reports.

Buhari, who arrived the country in August after spending over 100 days abroad, has been operating from an office located inside his official residence and another one located inside the Presidential Banquet Hall.


The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, had said the President’s office needed renovation because of its devastation by "rodents" during his long period of absence.

Although he said he could not tell when the renovation would be completed, the presidential spokesperson had stated that the maintenance company had been asked to speed up its pace of work.

However, 56 days after the President’s return to the country, he has yet to resume in his office.


His residence and the Presidential Banquet Hall, where he operates from are less than five minutes’ walk from his office.

The President has been hosting meetings and other events in the two venues.

When contacted on Friday, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said where Buhari has been operating from are also offices.

Adesina said the most important thing is that the President is working.
