The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting scheduled for Monday afternoon has been rescheduled. Ministers who had arrived for the meeting were seen departing the Council Chambers at the Presidential Villa around noon.
Only a few ministers had arrived by the time the meeting was postponed. Sources indicate that the rescheduling might be due to an ongoing security meeting at the Presidential Villa, chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
