The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting will not hold on Wednesday, September 4, the Presidency has said.
Observers of the Villa, are already wagging tongues as to why such postponement is coming back to back even in a fortnight.
Attributing reasons for the postponement, Mallam Garba Shehu, Spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, in a statement made available to the media said:
“This is due to the fact that all the memos earlier submitted to the Federal Executive Council for consideration have been returned to the various ministries.
“This action will allow ministers who were recently sworn in have their inputs in the memos sent by their predecessors in office.”
Similarly, he stressed that the period is to enable the ministers, who are still taking briefs from bureaucrats in the ministries and familiarizing themselves with their work space, have more time to contribute to discussions at the meeting.
“They will also utilize the period of the break to work towards the early preparation and submission of the 2020 budget estimates.” he added.
