President Bola Tinubu is currently chairing the 18th Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Chambers of the State House in Abuja.

This meeting marks the first in six weeks, following the President’s recent foreign engagements in Equatorial Guinea, China, and the United Kingdom.

According to Persecondnews, Tinubu arrived at the chamber at 12:25 p.m. and met with 21 members of his 47-member cabinet.

Key attendees include: Finance and Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Bagudu, Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, FCT, Nyesom Wike, Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, and Interior Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.

Notably absent is Vice President Kashim Shettima, who is leading Nigeria’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Before the commencement of the meeting, the council observed a minute of silence to honour former Minister of Women and Youth Development, Mrs. Salome Jankada, who passed away on August 27, 2024.

While the agenda remains unclear, sources indicate that the meeting will address a long list of memoranda for project approvals from several ministries.
