Today's FEC meeting canceled

The weekly Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting will not hold today, Wednesday, and official has said.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the meeting will not hold because the Eid-el-Kabir holiday deprived the ministers adequate time to prepare the documents for the meeting.

In a statement issued in Kano on Tuesday, the minister said the two-day public holidays declared for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations left little or no time to prepare for the weekly meeting.

Last week’s meeting was the first to be attended by President Muhammadu Buhari since April.
