The National Economic Council is currently being run by Vice President Kashim Shettima in the Council Chambers of the State House in Abuja.
The Council, which consists of the governors of the 36 states that make up the federation, also includes the group chief executive officer of Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and ministers in charge of the Federal Capital Territory and Finance, among others.
The deployment of palliatives intended to lessen the negative impacts of the elimination of gasoline subsidies is the most important matter on the Council’s agenda today, though the meeting is anticipated to cover a variety of topics, including the Federation’s financial situation and other general matters.
