BEVERLY HILLS, November 13, (THEWILL) –Â A meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) held on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presiding.
This makes it the fourth consecutive FEC session to be presided by Osinbajo in the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Osinbajo first took charge of the meeting on October 23, 2019, while Buhari was in Sochi, for the Russia-Africa Economic Summit.
He has since then been presiding of the meeting since the president travelled out of the country later in the month, first to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the third session of the Future Investment Initiative and then on to London, UK, for a private visit.
The President will be away from Nigeria till November 17.
Cabinet members observed a-minute silence in honour of a former Minister of Petroleum, Prof Tam David-West, who passed on Monday at the age of 83.
