The maiden meeting which was
slated for last week, was shifted to enable the ministers study pending memos
before the council prepared by deputising bureaucrats.
The meeting started around 11am
in the Council Chamber with rendition of the National anthem.
In his brief remarks at the
beginning of the meeting, Buhari reminded the ministers about the oath they
took three weeks ago and urged them not to fail Nigerians.
At the meeting were the Vice
President, Yemi Osinbajo, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss
Mustapha, Head of Service, Winifred Oyo-Ita and National Security Adviser,
Babagana Monguno.
At least three of the ministers,
Labour minister Chris Ngige, Justice Minister Abubakar Malami and minister of
state for Niger Delta, Festus Keyamo are attending the Presidential Election
Tribunal, which is delivering judgement in the petitions filed against Buhari
and the APC by Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.
