President Bola Tinubu has postponed this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting to an undisclosed date, opting instead to meet with service chiefs.
The meeting is expected to include the vice president, the national security adviser, all service chiefs, the inspector general of police, the comptroller generals of customs and immigration, and the president’s chief of staff.

Sources who spoke to Channels Television on condition of anonymity suggested that the urgent meeting with security chiefs may be related to the ongoing nationwide protests over hunger and hardship.
Reports indicate that Nigerians, primarily youths, are regrouping across the country for the fifth day of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests.
On Sunday, President Tinubu called for dialogue and an immediate end to the nationwide protests that have shaken the nation since Thursday. He assured protesters that his administration is ready to listen to and address their concerns, emphasizing that he has heard their demands “loud and clear.”
Despite this, the protests have continued in major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, and several other states.
