President Tinubu is presiding over the first Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting kicked off shortly after midday on Monday.
The Federal Executive Council is made up of Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senator George Akume, the Head of the Federal Civil Service, and Dr FolasadeYemi-Esan.
The meeting will also be attended by the President’s Chief of State Femi Gbajabiamila, the new cabinet members, and other senior government officials.
The function of the council, as set out in the Act on Statutory Functions and Duties of the President of Nigeria, is to advise the President, who is the Chairperson of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
Although the President is the ultimate executive decision-maker, the FEC has a constitutional duty to advise him on how to run the country.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) is the federal government's cabinet and a division of the executive branch. Its chairman, the President, serves as an advisory body to the FEC.
