Just In: Buhari Halts Executive Order 10 Publication

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the suspension of the publication of the Executive Order 10 in the Federal Government’s Official Gazette.

The publication of Executive Order 10 would have commenced the application of the Order.

President Buhari, it was gathered, suspended the publication so as to give more time for adequate consultations among stakeholders after meeting with members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), led by its Chairman, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State.

Members of the NGF had also confirmed the postponement of the publication at their 10th teleconference on COVID -19 held on Wednesday.

The Governors resolved, at the meeting, to congratulate Buhari”for the decision to postpone the formal publication of the Executive Order #10 of 2020 in the Official Gazette to enable further consultations among all stakeholders.”
