Tinubu moves into Aso Rock 2 months after inauguration

Two months after his inauguration, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu officially relocated to Aso Rock on Sunday night.

But while the president’s official mansion was being renovated, he relocated to the Glass House, which is often used as a temporary dwelling.

Since his appointment, he had been conducting business out of a private home in Asokoro, but the security precautions resulted in public complaints about excessive traffic because of road closures and limitations.

“He finally moved on Sunday night because of public complaints over the traffic congestion around his movements,” a presidency official said.

“He too was unhappy with the discomfort to the public but the official residence is still not ready, so he decided to move to the Glass House.”

According to sources the residence will be ready in August.

In 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari moved to the residence three weeks after his inauguration.
