Rodents Invasion: FG Budgeted N4.9bn For Environmental Services In Aso Rock
The reason given for this was renovations in the president’s office.
However, Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on
media and publicity, has come out with the news that the renovation was
as a result of various damages rodents had caused.
“Rodents have caused a lot of damage to the furniture and the air conditioning units,” Shehu told THISDAY.
Checks by TheCable revealed that for 2017, N4, 953,184,635b was
appropriated for annual routine maintenance of mechanical/electrical
installations, building/civil and environmental services within and
around Aso-Rock villa facilities.
These facilities include offices of the president and the vice-president.
There is another N139.4m for the maintenance of office buildings and
residential quarters in the state house. Also, N52. 8m was appropriated
for sewerage charges.
Reactions have continued to trail Shehu’s remarks, and some Nigerians
are surprised how rodents could find their way into the president’s
office.
“Did the cleaners/maintenance personnel attached to the office also
go on the three-month leave with Buhari?” Ayuba Ayus, a Facebook user,
asked.
Checking further, TheCable found that in the 2017 appropriation, the
state house is to spend N40.8m on rehabilitation of animal enclosures,
procurement of vet lab equipment, feeding and medication of wild and
domestic animals in the state house zoo.
If the rodents that took over the president’s office while he was
away are those from the state house zoo, then those in charge of feeding
them should be questioned on why the rodents had nothing to eat,
finding their way to feasting on the furniture in the president’s
office.
