Breaking News: President Postpones FEC Meeting Following Death of Chief of Army Staff General Lagbaja

In an unexpected turn of events, Vice President Kashim Shettima has announced the immediate postponement of today’s Federal Executive Council Meeting (FEC) meeting. The decision was made by President Bola Tinubu to honor the passing of the Chief of Army Staff, General Taoreed Lagbaja. The announcement was delivered just moments before the meeting was set to commence at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa.

General Lagbaja, who served with distinction, has left a significant void within Nigeria’s military leadership, and his death has sent shockwaves across the nation. The postponement of the NEC underscores the gravity of his passing, as the government reflects on his legacy and contributions to national security.

Further updates on the rescheduled FEC meeting are expected shortly.
