Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari is set to move into the Presidential Villa and commence serious business of governance next week.
This is coming after spending nearly three weeks at the helm of affairs in the country.
Buhari has been working from the Defence House in Maitama and has been conducting official business of government from there, having been sworn-in on May 29, 2015. Presidency sources who spoke to Vanguard said that Buhari was set to move into the Presidential Villa before the end of the week and might also name the first set of top government officials to kick-start the administration, which has witnessed a lull in the last three weeks.
Buhari is said to be ready to move into Aso Villa early next week following completion of renovation of the President’s residence. “It is true that the construction company has completed the President’s wing and he is set to move in any moment from now. As at today, it is only the Vice President’s residence that is yet to be fully completed.
“We expect that the two men will move into the villa by next week since the work in the Vice President’s apartment is not a serious one,” an official in the Presidency told Vanguard.
The source also stated that Buhari was set to begin naming some key officials of his government as soon as he moves into the Villa to prepare the grounds for the take off of serious work for Nigerians who have been expecting action from the administration.
