The permanent secretary in the State House, Tijani Umar has promised to ensue that President Muhammadu Buhari does not go abroad again once the National Assembly approves the N1.3 billion request for the State House Clinic in the 2021 budget.

Umar, the highest ranking civil servant in the State House spoke on Thursday to reporters after defending the N19.7 billion provided for the operations of the seat of power in the 2021 budget.
