Osinbajo presides over FEC meeting

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is currently presiding over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence.

Before the meeting kicked off in earnest on Wednesday, the cabinet members observed a minute silence in honour of two former ministers; one-time Minister of Science and Technology, Senator Bode Olowoporoku; and Alhaji Umaru Muhammad Baba.

Officially announcing the passage of the two former ministers to Council, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Boss Mustapha, recalled their various services to the country.

The meeting which is also holding, as usual, through virtual platform had seven members physically present in the Council Chambers of the State House.
