Vice President Kashim Shettima is chairing the 146th session of the National Economic Council (NEC) at the State House in Abuja, bringing together state governors and federal agency representatives to address critical national challenges. The meeting, which began at 12:06 pm, underscores the administration’s focus on collaborative governance.
This month’s NEC agenda includes the highly anticipated State Police report and preparations for the 2025 fiscal year. These discussions aim to provide strategic solutions to Nigeria’s pressing economic and security concerns, reflecting the council’s commitment to addressing the diverse needs of the federation.
The NEC, which meets monthly, serves as a platform for states and federal agencies to align policies and foster economic development. Participants are expected to delve into current national priorities, including strengthening security frameworks and improving fiscal planning for sustainable growth.
State Police remains a top priority in the discussions, as governors seek a balanced approach to improving security infrastructure while preserving the autonomy of their regions. Meanwhile, fiscal deliberations for 2025 aim to address revenue generation and allocation challenges to boost the country’s economic stability.
As the meeting progresses, decisions and recommendations from the council will likely shape policies that impact millions of Nigerians. More details are expected to emerge as discussions unfold.
