The Federal Executive Council meeting will not take place on Wednesday as expected.
This will be the second time in a row that the meeting will not hold.
The meeting did not hold last week as President Muhammadu Buhari was away for the 7th Tokyo International Conference on Africa Development.
Adducing reasons for the postponement of the FEC meeting for this Wednesday, the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said: “This is due to the fact that all the memos earlier submitted to the 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, 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.”
