President Bola Tinubu has failed to convene the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting 44 days after the inaugural cabinet session held on August 28.
The FEC, which is chaired by the President, is the executive cabinet that determines the policies and programs of the Government and serves as an advisory body to the Nigerian leader.
President Tinubu had, on August 21, sworn in and inaugurated 45 ministers who attended the maiden cabinet meeting at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa in Abuja on August 28.
Busy Government
However, the president was out of the country for 20 days in September alone.
That was where he spent eight days attending the G20 Summit in New Delhi, India and held bilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Also in September, President Tinubu was away for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, the United States, and other outings for twelve days.
During the period, Vice President Kashim Shettima, who could have presided over FEC meetings, was in Havana.
