Pressing national issues, notably the worrisome state of the economy, lingering fuel crisis, epileptic power supply and the missing Chibok girls will dominate deliberations at today’s emergency Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting called by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The meeting, which will be attended by all the 36 ministers and other critical stakeholders, will hold at the State House, Abuja.
Presidency sources said that the participants will also appraise the threats by the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to embark on a nationwide warning strike and protest against the continued hardships faced by Nigerians under the Buhari administration.
Ahead of the meeting, Buhari on Thursday appealed to the NARD not to resort to the planned strike, whilst assuring the members that he would implement agreements reached with them by previous governments.
