President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday presided over the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting for the first time since his return from London on August 19 after spending about 103 days treating an undisclosed ailment.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the President last week canceled the FEC meeting on accounts that he had other important official matters to attend to.
Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina later told newsmen that the president was not mandated by law to hold the FEC meeting weekly especially when there are other urgent matters of national importance to attend to.

While expressing hope that the President’s return would reinvigorate the cabinet and the nation’s economy, the ministers prayed for all Nigerians and for the country.
