The Federal Executive Council meeting earlier fixed for Friday morning has been postponed till Monday, December 21.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, told the press that the postponement was to allow ministers reflect on some of the amendments made by the National Economic Council concerning the 2016 budget proposal during their meeting on Thursday.
Mohammed said “We are being given time between now and Monday to go and rejig our figures because when the National Economic Council met yesterday, certain issues were thrown up which if not resolved will distort the entire budget proposal.
So we are all going to get back on areas in which each ministry will go and do its own rejigging,” he said.
