It did not come as a surprise to many, as Nigerian President Bola Tinubu on Monday presided over the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting.
The president also inaugurated three new ministers.
You see, in its short time, the administration of Tinubu has faced numerous criticism.
One of such criticisms was the president’s failure to hold a FEC meeting.
The new-sworn ministers at the FEC meeting include:
Balarabe Lawal (Kaduna State)
Ayodele Olawande (Ondo State) and
Jamila Bio Ibrahim (Kwara State)
The Meeting
Tinubu chaired the FEC meeting which had in attendance the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Also, the Chief of Staff to the President and ministers attended the meeting.
The Head of Service of the Federation, Special Advisers and other top government functionaries were at meeting.
This is the second edition of the meeting in the life of this administration.
Renewed Hope Agenda
The first inaugural meeting was held in August where new ministers attended to take their first brief from the executive arm on their roles and responsibilities in the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The FEC is a constitutional institution where government policies are discussed and endorsed by Ministers.

At the August 29 FEC meeting, Tinubu unveiled an eight-point agenda to revive the country’s ailing economy.
Identified Targets
According to him, his eight-point agenda premise on eight priority areas and his target is to pursue its actualisation in the next three years.
These are food security; ending poverty, economic growth and job creation, access to capital, particularly consumer credit and inclusivity in all its dimensions, particularly as regards youths and women.
Others are improving security, improving the playing field on which people and particularly companies operate, rule of law, and of course, fighting corruption.
