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.
He returned to the country last Friday and announced that he would use last weekend for further rest.
A statement issued by his Special Adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, confirmed the resumption.
It said: In compliance with Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the President has formally transmitted letters to the Senate and the House of Representatives, intimating the National Assembly “that I have resumed my functions as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with effect from Monday, March 13, 2017, after my vacation.”
