The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting is not open to the public, including President Bola Tinubu’s son Seyi.
The federal cabinet meets weekly to discuss the most important issues facing the country, and the president claimed to have seen Seyi and other unauthorised individuals scurrying in and out of these sessions.

He expressly warned that these kinds of operations ought to stop.
“I observed last week that certain people were entering and leaving this Council without authorization, including… I looked behind and saw the picture of my son, Seyi. That is not appropriate. “I’ll let you know who is expected to be here,” he declared.
Principal Private Secretary Hakeem Muri-Okunola, Private Secretary Damilotun Aderemi, Information and Strategy Advisor Bayo Onanuga, and Special Advisers on Policy Coordination Hadiza Usman and Bayo Onanuga were mentioned by President Tinubu.
These individuals are the ones who have been given permission to be here when we are conducting national business. Please don’t come unless I specifically asked you to. Please take note, Head of Service and Secretary to the Government.
“Except for the four individuals I have informed you of, no one has the privilege of sitting in this (the Council Chambers) unless your staff is present,” the President forewarned.
Additionally, Olaf Scholz, the Chancellor of the Republic of Germany, led a delegation of visiting German government and business representatives, whom the president praised favourably for their bilateral and economic discussions on Sunday.
Thanking his ministers for attending the conference, President Tinubu tasked them with coming up with innovative ideas to expedite the necessary reforms to draw in investors.
I want to thank everyone who came to the national event on Sunday; we had a great turnout yesterday. In my opinion, the visit by the German Chancellor was a triumph.
The investors are interested in us, so even if we required more time, we were able to cover a lot of ground and must take our reforms seriously.As I’ve remarked before, investments and investors are cowards; they don’t handle disagreement. Consider unconventional ideas for improving our processes, stated Tinubu.
