The Presidency has said the Federal Executive Council meeting expected to hold on Wednesday (today) was not possible because the ministers had been given time to study all pending memos relating to their offices before they were inaugurated.
It added that such memos, earlier filed by their predecessors, had since been returned to their respective ministries for the new ministers’ inputs.
There has been no FEC meeting since President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated the new cabinet on August 21.
A statement by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, explained the postponement of the meeting.
It 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 the ministers sworn in recently to have their inputs into the memos sent by their predecessors.”
