President Bola Tinubu is chairing the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.

Vice President Kashim Shettima and cabinet members are already in the council chambers for the meeting, with several new permanent secretaries also present.

The eight new permanent secretaries sworn in by the president are Ndakayo-Aishetu Gogo, Adeoye Adeleye Ayodeji, Rimi Nura Abba, Bako Deborah Odoh, Omachi Raymond Omenka, Ahmed Dunoma Umar, Watti Tinuke, and Ella Nicholas Agbo.

The appointees are to be assigned their various portfolios by the Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

The FEC is the top advisory body to the president, saddled with the responsibilities of formulating policies, advising on governance matters, and overseeing the implementation of government initiatives.

The president is also expected to present various issues bordering on the memorandum of understanding and agreement reached at his recent foreign engagements to the cabinet members.
