President Bola Tinubu has warned government officials and family members against attending the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting without invitation.
Tinubu issued the warning before the commencement of FEC meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.
โLast week, I noticed people sneaking in and out of this Council. People had access to this place when they should not. That is not acceptable.
โI will announce to you here, people who are supposed to be here.
โHadiza Usman, Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, Principal Private Secretary and Damilotun Aderemi, Private Secretary.
โThese are the people who are granted the exception to be here when we are conducting the business of the nation. Unless I sent for you, donโt come.โ
The President directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, SGF, and the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, HCSF, Folashade Yemi-Esan, to take note of his directive.
โUnless they are your staff that are included, no one should have access to the FEC meeting, except I have announced their names to you.
โLet me also say that the planning of an event about the government must be well articulated and followed accurately,โ he added.
