FG Cancels Wednesday’s FEC Meeting

The weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) will not hold on Wednesday, February 28.

This was revealed in a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

He said the meeting was shelved because of the participation of President Muhammadu Buhari and a significant number of Ministers at the High-Level Meeting of the International Conference on Lake Chad Basin.

The two-day conference, organised by the government and the Lake Chad Basin Commission, aims to “save the lake from extinction”, according to UNESCO, which is backing the talks.

The conference will hold at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, for the better part of Wednesday, Adesina said.

Adesina did not indicate whether the meeting will hold later in the week.
