The presidency confirmed this in a tweet, which said: “The Federal Executive Council (FEC) Meeting has started. Vice President @ProfOsinbajo is presiding.”
The president has failed to convene FEC meetings for three consecutive weeks, fuelling speculation about his health.
However, he resumed at his desk on Tuesday and took briefs from Abubakar Malami, Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), and Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
FEC, which is made up of the president, vice-president and all Ministers, is the highest decision making organ of the government.
