According to Premium Times, the objective of the meeting was to take a decision on the next step after the FEC stepped down from discussion on the Tripartite Committee on New National Minimum Wage's report.

Mohammed Idris, the minister of information and national orientation, informed journalists on Tuesday that the FEC decided to step down the memo to allow for more consultation between President Bola Tinubu, the governors, local government authorities, and the private sector.
