President Muhammadu Buhari would henceforth work from home, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said on Wednesday.
Briefing State House correspondents at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Mohammed said the President needed some rest.
He said the President has instructed that all the files on his table be brought to his official residence for treatment.
He said the President had already called for pending files requiring his attention to be moved to his official residence.
“We just concluded the Federal Executive Council meeting, I’m sure you noticed that the President was not there. He was not there because he asked that he be allowed to rest and asked the VP to preside. And he will be working from home. He has asked all his files to be taken to him in the house. He will be working from home today,” he said.
The minister said the Vice President would later in the day visit the President at home.
Buhari’s inability to attend FEC meeting raised concerns about his health.
