Just a day after his inauguration, President Bola Tinubu arrived at his office in the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja on Tuesday afternoon.
Prior to this, on Monday afternoon, the President had hosted approximately 40 Heads of State at the Banquet Hall. However, he did not begin his official duties at his office until Tuesday.
At precisely 02:38 pm on Tuesday, Tinubu’s motorcade pulled up at the forecourt of the Villa. He was warmly received by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Godwin Emefiele, Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited Mele Kyari, and the Permanent Secretary of the State House Tijjani Umar.
Also present were Mr. Wale Edun, the former Lagos State Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Dele Alake, and Honorable James Faleke.
Just before entering, the new Commander-in-Chief inspected the Quarter Guard stationed at the presidential gate.
Following Tinubu’s initial meeting on that day, the presidency is expected to announce key principal officers of the new administration, including the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, National Security Adviser, and Spokesperson.
