President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will move to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa this week, Daily Trust has learnt.
Due to the ongoing renovation of the State House, Buhari and Osinbajo had been operating from the Defence House Abuja since their inauguration on May 29.
But our correspondent learnt this morning that the contractors, Julius Berger Plc, will complete its work and formally hand over the Presidential Villa today.
As of 12 noon, Julius Berger staff were still renovating the vice president wing of the State House. They were seen painting the walls and fixing air-conditioners.
Some of them told our correspondent on condition of anonymity few minutes ago that the president's side of the Villa, including his residence, offices and the Council Chambers, had been completely renovated.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, had said last Monday that his principal would move to the Aso Rock Villa when the contractors completed the renovation.
"The contractors are working probably at their own pace. If I need to know or if you need to know this, probably, we have to talk to someone. I am not saying he (the president) is comfortable where he is at his rented house, but he is operating from there at the moment. When the Villa is ready, he will move", Shehu had told journalists.
