The White House in the US and Aso
Rock in Nigeria seem to share a common dilemma — pests.
According to a report by NBC 4 Washington,
hundreds of maintenance work orders reveal that the White House is infested
with mice, cockroaches and ants.
A maintenance work order is
usually created as a follow up to inspections or audits, for building
maintenance and/or redecoration.
The report showed that the White
House situation room and the dining facility known as the Navy mess, are
plagued with mice.
Other areas such as the chief of
staff’s office is said to harbour ants and cockroaches.
Commenting on the situation,
Brian Miller, former inspector general at General Services Administration
(GSA), said maintaining an old building is a challenging task.
“It is an enormous job,” he said.
“They (White House) are old
buildings… any of us who have older houses know old houses need a lot of work.”
In August, Garba Shehu,
presidency spokesman, had said the office of President Muhammadu Buhari was
undergoing renovation because of large-scale rat infestation.
The president had reportedly
avoided the use of his main office, choosing to operate from other offices in
the villa.

Is the White house....a justification of ASO rock rat....? Its like saying: Oh...we are not the only one in this mess. Even the office of the most powerful president in the world is also affected in some ways.
