The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu explained that the new development is not unusual, as it is a growing practice in government offices in other countries.
Shehu said every visitor including state governors will be required to take the COVID-19 rapid test before entry into the presidential villa.
He further said the test kits which are issued for free at the gate, is a temporary measure against the backdrop of the recent spike in the number of cases of the COVID-19 virus in the country.
