This week’s federal executive
council (FEC) meeting has been extended till Thursday.
Garba Shehu, presidential
spokesman, disclosed this to reporters on Wednesday.
He said the meeting was extended
to enable the council deliberate and take decisions on pending issues.
President Muhammadu Buhari presided
over the meeting which is considered the longest since he took office in 2015.
Shehu said the federal government
had the plan to “make Nigerians happy” by providing tangible and meaningful
projects to uplift their quality of life.
Buhari had earlier administered
oath of office on the remaining seven permanent secretaries out of the 22
appointed earlier in the year.
The inauguration preceded the
council’s meeting and had the cabinet members and serving permanent secretaries
as well as some guests of the new officials in attendance.
Those sworn in were: Mustapha
Suleiman (Kano); Adekunle Adeyemi (Oyo); Comfort Ekaro (Rivers) and Adebayo
Akpata (Ekiti).
Others are Abdulkadir Muazu
(Kaduna); Marcelinus Osuji(Imo) and Bitrus Nabasu (Plateau).
Fifteen of the newly appointed
permanent secretaries took their oath of office in August.
