President Bola Tinubu is currently leading the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Council Chambers of the State House in Abuja. In attendance are Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan, and Chief of Staff to the President Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

However, National Security Adviser Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Minister of Police Affairs Ibrahim Geidam are notably absent from the meeting.
