President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently presiding over the inaugural Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting of his administration. The meeting is taking place at the Council Chamber in the Presidential Villa located in Abuja.
The recently appointed cabinet members were sworn in and inaugurated the previous week after receiving confirmation from the Senate as mandated by the constitution.
Joining President Tinubu at the meeting are Vice President Kashim Shettima, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Originally slated for the preceding Wednesday, the FEC meeting had been rescheduled to allow the new ministers time to settle into their respective ministries following their swearing-in ceremony just a couple of days earlier.
As conveyed by WesternPost, President Tinubu had informed his ministers of the new date for the first FEC meeting, which was set for Monday. The ministers had also received an official memo from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) in preparation for the meeting.
