''Why we have rodents in Aso Rock'' – Permanent Secretary, Jalal Arabi

State House Permanent Secretary Jalal Arabi said yesterday that rodents and other pests can be found in the presidential villa because of its location and the availability of what it called "eatables". He spoke when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Intergovernmental Affairs.    President Buhari, on his return from the United Kingdom, where he had gone for a medical examination, moved his office to his official residence. His media assistant, Garba Shehu, explained that the office had been moved because the rodents had infested the president's office and the work was done to refurbish it. Arabi, who is the permanent secretary of the state house, gave insight into why the state house has rodents.A member of the committee, Senator Joshua Lidani (PDP, Gombe) had said to him “On a lighter note, have you made provision for fumigation?  Because there were reports that rodents invaded the president’s office last year.”
Responding, Arabi said: “You know Abuja is so blessed with so many eatables, attracting rodents and other animals. You know where the Villa is located, it’s on a valley. You can’t restrict their movement because of the international convention on animals,” he said.
