The President has cancelled this week Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
According to Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on media and publicity, ‘this is due to the fact that all the memos earlier submitted to the Council for consideration have been returned to the various Ministries.
This action will allow Ministers who were recently sworn in have their inputs in the memos sent by their predecessors in office’.
They will also utilize the period of the break to work towards the early preparation and submission of the 2020 budget estimates.
