Tinubu Presides Over FEC Meeting In Aso Villa

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday, presided over the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

Naija News reports that the meeting took place inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Surprisingly, the FEC meeting, which usually takes place on Mondays under the Tinubu administration, was held today.

Present at the meeting include Vice President Kashim Shettima, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, ministers and heads of parastatals.

The first inaugural meeting was held in August. New ministers attended to take their first brief from the executive arm on their roles and responsibilities in the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The FEC is a constitutional institution where ministers discuss and endorse government policies, with the President serving as the Chairman and the Vice President as the Vice Chairman.

At the August 29 FEC meeting, Tinubu unveiled an eight-point agenda to revive the country’s ailing economy.

He had said that the eight-point agenda was based on eight priority areas, with identified targets that would be delivered in the next three years.

These are food security; ending poverty, economic growth and job creation; access to capital, particularly consumer credit; inclusivity in all its dimensions, particularly as regards youths and women; improving security, improving the playing field on which people and particularly companies operate, rule of law, and of course, fighting corruption.
