President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday held what the federal government called a special Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting within the Council Chambers at the Presidential Villa.

Before addressing the meeting, President Buhari swore in two Permanent Secretaries, Olakunle Bamgbose and Mahmood Dutse.

Both of them were unavoidably absent during the swearing in of other permanent secretaries a few weeks earlier.

Although details of the meeting was not  made known to State House correspondents, indications show the council is putting final touches to the 2016 budget with special attention to the medium term expenditure framework.
