President Bola Tinubu is presiding over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House, Abuja.
Tuesday’s meeting, which began at 01:26 p.m. when President Tinubu arrived at the Council Chamber, is the second executive meeting for 2025.
Speaking on Monday, the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, disclosed that the council members will converge again on Tuesday for another council meeting for the year.
He said the meetings were scheduled in succession to look into the backlog of memos.
“Let me also say that there is also another Federal Executive Council meeting coming up tomorrow.
“Recall that since December, we’ve not had anyone, so a lot of memos have gathered. And the President is determined to dispense with all of them.
“So we want to say that tomorrow there will be another press briefing after the FEC meeting,” the minister said.
