UPDATED: FEC meeting rescheduled for 2pm

A Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting scheduled for 12 noon today has now been moved 2 pm.

Ministers who had arrived for the meeting earlier slated for 12noon time were seen departing the Council Chambers Presidential Villa venue.

TRIBUNE ONLINE gathered no reason was given for the delay.

The meeting was previously scheduled amid the ongoing nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest, which continued in Abuja on Monday despite President Bola Tinubu’s attempt to pacify Nigerians in his Sunday national broadcast.

Though its agenda had not been made public, the council was expected to review the protest and determine the way forward in the effort of the federal government to ameliorate the economic hardship in the country and convince the protesters to end the action.
