best from his visit to the United States, the no-nonsense man has warned

For anyone in Nigeria to gain easy access to the president, the
report states that Buhari had directed the Department of State Protocol
in Abuja to open a desk at the Aso Rock Villa.
This is to also stop corrupt officials or middlemen profiting from selling access to the Presidency.
A source at the meeting further disclosed that some business men and politicians were seen around Buhari’s delegation seeking opportunity to meet with the president.
