The Head of Service of the Federation, Special Advisers as well as other top government functionaries were at the meeting.

The FEC is a constitutional institution where government policies are discussed and endorsed by Ministers, with the President serving as the Chairman and the Vice President as the Vice Chairman.
At the August 29 FEC meeting, Tinubu unveiled an eight-point agenda to revive the country’s ailing economy.
He had said that the eight-point agenda was based on eight priority areas, with identified targets that would be delivered in the next three years.
These are food security; ending poverty, economic growth and job creation, access to capital, particularly consumer credit, inclusivity in all its dimensions, particularly as regards youths and women, improving security, improving the playing field on which people and particularly companies operate, rule of law, and of course, fighting corruption.
