President Muhammadu Buhari has moved into the Presidential Villa in Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has moved into the Presidential Villa in Abuja, three weeks after he was sworn-in.

The President and his Vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo have been staying and operating from the Defence House in Abuja.

President Buhari was on Sunday afternoon reported to have visited the Presidential Villa, apparently to spend a few minutes with his wife.

A Presidency Official said: ”The President was here this afternoon (Sunday). He arrived at about 2pm and spent about 30 minutes before he left. He later returned in the evening. At last, the President has moved in”.

At the moment, there is no detail of Osinbajo’s movement into the Presidential Villa.

According to the President’s Media Aide, the renovation which was being carried out since the former President, Goodluck Jonathan, moved out, is the reason he delayed moving into his official residence.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, confirmed this to Channels Television via phone.

Meanwhile, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said: ”As far as the President is concerned, the place (his official residence) is not ready yet. Workers are cleaning and refurbishing the place. Once the exercise is completed, the President will move in”.

'Lost' Memories Restored in Mice

In a feat that calls to mind the memory-tweaking technology in the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," a team of researchers restored "lost memories" in the brains of mice. The mice in the study were given a drug that prevented them from consolidating a fearful memory. But when neurons involved in encoding the memory were stimulated with pulses of light, the animals were able to retrieve the forgotten recollection. In some forms of amnesia, past memories may not be erased, but may just be inaccessible for recall, said Susumu Tonegawa, director of the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan and co-author of the study, said in a statement. If the findings are confirmed in humans, the knowledge could benefit people who suffer from retrograde amnesia, an inability to recall memories that were made before the amnesia, which is common in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. Scientists have long debated whether retrograde ...
