The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu has explained that the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) could not hold due to logistic issues.

Shehu who made this known to State House correspondents in Abuja on Wednesday, stated that the meeting was cancelled as the FEC secretariat workers were unable to distribute necessary documents for the meeting because of the Easter holiday.

According to him, by practice, ministers must receive memos two or three days ahead of meetings to enable them undertake research, if necessary.

“I think it is because of the Easter holiday. The secretariat had no time to circulate the necessary documents.

“The staff on the Council secretariat resumed on Tuesday after the Easter. There was no time to prepare and circulate memos to ministers.

He described as “very unfair’’ those attributing the cancellation of the FEC meeting to the President’s health conditions.
