President Bola Tinubu is currently presiding over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, at the Council Chamber in the State House, Abuja.
Recall that the last Council meeting directed the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, to propose additional measures for the 2024 budget to address the financial gaps that will arise from the implementation of the new minimum wage once it is finalised.
At the last FEC, the federal government directed the distribution of 740 trucks of bags of rice across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
Vice President Kashim Shettima; Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; and the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, are attending the meeting.
Also present are almost all the minister and other members of Council.
