President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday officially swore in eight Federal Permanent Secretaries and administered the oath to 21 Federal Commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

The sworn-in include Kayode Oladele, Commissioner of the Federal Character Commission, and Victoria Iyatan, a member of the National Population Commission.

Naija News understands that the council members also sat silent to pay tribute to Lt. Gen Jeremiah Useni, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, who died on January 23, 2025.

The Council is reconvening following a six-week break.

On Monday, December 16, 2024, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, declared that the Federal Executive Council would observe a recess from December 18, 2024, until January 6, 2025.

“The second thing I need to mention here is that the Federal Executive Council will be on recess from the 18th of this month until the 6th of January, meaning that there won’t be any Federal Executive Council meeting during that period,” Idris said.
