“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,” A reliable source from the Presidency said.
The source also revealed that President Buhari is set to start making key appointments in his administration as soon as he settles down in his new residence to prepare grounds for the take of serious work for Nigerians who have been seeking action from the new government.

“Hopefully, from next week, some appointments would be announced. Buhari is a fast reader and he will be able to take immediate actions based on the transition report,” the source stated.
