President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday held a closed-door session with key members of his economic and fiscal policy team at the State House, Abuja, amid intensified efforts to drive economic recovery and energy sector reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Those in attendance included the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun; Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu; and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Mr Ekperikpe Ekpo.
Also present were the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Olayemi Cardoso; Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Dr Zacch Adedeji; and the Director-General and Global Liaison for the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership, Mr Joseph Tegbe.
The top government officials arrived separately at the State House for what appeared to be a routine presidential briefing — a standard protocol for such high-level consultations.
The meeting comes as the Tinubu administration sharpens its focus on fiscal consolidation, economic stabilisation, and reforms within the oil and gas sector.
