Why FEC Meeting Failed to Hold – Presidency Explains

By Farouk Mohammed

Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has revealed the reason why the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting failed to hold on Wednesday.


 

The media aide said that it was due to the Easter break and that the council secretariat had no time to prepare and circulate memos to ministers.

“The staff on the Council secretariat resumed on Tuesday after the Easter. There was no time to prepare and circulate memos to ministers.

“By practice, the ministers receive council memos two or three days ahead of meetings because they must read them and sometimes undertake research.

“It is not a rubber stamp council so everyone must prepare themselves well for debates,” he said.
