The federal government has extended the federal executive council (FEC) meeting to today.
Mohammed Idris, minister of information and culture, announced the extension of the FEC meeting on Monday while speaking with State House correspondents.
The FEC meeting was held on Monday for the first time since March.
Idris said the FEC meeting will continue on Tuesday at 12pm.
“The council meeting will continue tomorrow, therefore, there will be no press briefing today. A lot of far-reaching decisions are being taken, and the conclusions will be made available to you tomorrow. FEC will continue at noon tomorrow,” the minister said.
During the FEC meeting, President Bola Tinubu swore in two additional commissioners of the National Population Commission (NPC).
Earlier, the cabinet observed a minute’s silence in honour of the late Fabian Osuji, a former minister of education; and Ogbonnaya Onu, a former minister of science and technology.
