Poor reception of mobile telephone signals is a problem even in Aso Rock, the Nigeria seat of power.

This was revealed yesterday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, while featuring as a special guest on a Radio Continental Lagos breakfast programme via telephone.

Asked how someone who has valuable information to pass to President Muhammadu Buhari can go about it, Mr. Adesina said: “Oh! That is why my numbers are open, my email is there too. I have not changed my numbers because we need to interface with the public. At times, my phones ring round the clock and I do pick. But if I don’t pick, it could only mean that I am with the president or at an area in the Villa where service is poor; that is when you can’t get me.”
