The president of the Federation, Bola Tinubu has given a stern warning to unauthorised individuals from attending the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting.

He gave the warning before the commencement of this week’s FEC which was held on Monday at the presidential villa, that he noticed people sneaking in and out of the council chamber.

He said: “Last week, I noticed people sneaking in and out of this council. People had access to this place when they should not. That is not acceptable.

“I will announce to you here, people who are supposed to be here.

“Hadiza Usman, special adviser on policy coordination, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, principal private secretary and Damilotun Aderemi, private secretary.

“These are the people who are granted the exception to be here when we are conducting the business of the nation. Unless I send for you, don’t come.”

Secretary of the Federation, George Akume, and Head of Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan were instructed to see full compliance with the directive.

The weekly FEC meeting which has been shifted to Monday instead of Wednesday, is chaired by the President with attendance from members of his cabinets and top aides.
