President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to preside over the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting at the Council Chamber of the State House in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital today.
Last week, Buhari cancelled the FEC meeting but did not give any reason for doing so.
But the FEC meeting is expected to hold today as the President looks increasingly fitter following 104 days on medical vacation in London.
In a statement by his Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President said, “The meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) will not hold today.”
Adesina however noted that President Buhari who is working from home will receive the Report of the investigation committee into the allegations against the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayo Oke, headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, at 12 noon, in his office.

The outcome of the investigation on the two men is yet to be made public by the President.
It would be recalled that on 19 April, President Buhari suspended the director-general of National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Ayo Oke and the Secretary to the Federal Government, Engineer Babachir David Lawal.
Both men were mired in some controversies and the President had ordered full scale investigations into their cases.
Babachir Lawal was indicted by a Senate Committee probing the disbursement of funds meant for the Internally Displaced Persons camps.
The Committee alleged that Lawal awarded a N200m contract to a company linked with him to cut grass at an IDP camp.
Meanwhile, Ayo Oke was linked recently with the shocking discovery of $43.45million in a private apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
He claimed the money belonged to his agency and was approved by the former president Goodluck Jonathan for some covert operation.
President Buhari was said to be furious with the claim as he had never been briefed about the fund by the DG who was appointed by Jonathan and was kept on the job by Buhari.
