Just In: Pres. Tinubu postpones FEC meeting, hosts security chiefs

The Federal Government has postponed this week’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting earlier scheduled for Monday afternoon, August 5.

It was gathered that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will instead meet with service chiefs.

The meeting is expected to have in attendance the vice president, the national security adviser, all service chiefs, the inspector general of police, the comptroller generals of customs, and immigration, and the chief of staff to the president.

Sources close to the matter told Channels Television on condition of anonymity, that the urgent meeting with security chiefs may not be unconnected to the ongoing nationwide hunger and hardship protests.

This is coming after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave a nationwide broadcast on Sunday morning, asking protesters to suspend their action and come forward for dialogue.
