PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, resumed duties after returning from his nearly two months medical vacation in the United Kingdom.
He has sent a letter to the National Assembly as required by law to apprise the lawmakers of his decision to resume on Monday.
While he was away, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had performed the duties with full presidential powers.
This followed the transmission of power to him by President Buhari who had similarly notified the National Assembly before his trip.

A statement issued by his Special Adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, confirmed the resumption.
