President Bola Tinubu is currently presiding over a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House Council Chamber, Abuja. The session, which began earlier today, is focused on various national matters, including the formal swearing-in of Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello as the new Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The appointment of Dr. Bello was earlier confirmed by the 10th Senate, under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, in July 2024. This confirmation followed the submission of a report by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions, chaired by Senator Neda Bernards Imasuen, representing Edo South. Dr. Bello’s appointment is in accordance with section 154 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.
The ongoing FEC meeting has sparked rumors of an impending cabinet reshuffle. Reports suggest that this session could serve as a valedictory meeting for some underperforming ministers, signaling that a reshuffle may soon take place.
Further details from the meeting are expected to be revealed in the coming hours....
