Messrs Buhari and Tinubu inspected some departments that are key to the workings of the presidency, starting with the Council Chamber and exited at the press gallery.
The State Chief of Protocol (SCOP), Ambassador Lawal Kazaure, explained the functions of the various departments visited during the inspection tour.
