Ahead of next week’s presentation of the 2020 budget to the National Assembly, President Muhammadu Buhari will preside over an emergency Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting tagged Extraordinary FEC.

According to a presidency source familiar with the matter, the meeting is scheduled for Saturday. 

The last time an extra-ordinary FEC held was in January this year, where the President launched the new enhanced security international e-passport with 10-year validity.

 

FEC meeting holds weekly on Wednesdays at the council chamber.

 

The federal government plans to return to the January–December budget calendar.
