President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday caught most members of the Federal Executive Council unaware as he arrived the Council Chambers for the council’s meeting at about 9.50am.

Only a handful council members were already in the hall for the meeting slated for 10am at the time Buhari arrived.

Immediately he stepped into the hall, the President noted the absence of most of the council members.

“I came too early,” he said as he asked members in attendance to recite the National Anthem.



As of the time the meeting started, only about 19 out of the 36 ministers were in attendance.

The Head of Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, were also in attendance.

Shortly after, journalists were excused and the meeting went into closed session, some members including Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari; National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno; Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige; and Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Khadija Bukar Abba; arrived.

They were however not late as they arrived at about 9.55am.

Many of them were seen checking their time and rushing into the chamber when they discovered that the meeting had started.

Some other ministers however arrived after the 10am scheduled take off time.

I used to go for 7am classes in OAU. Almost always punctual.

My point? Is this nonsense supposed to be celebrated or what?!

What has happened to the reasoning capabilities of the average Nigerian youth?!

amtaken:
The meeting can only make sense if it can resolve the gross economic recession being witnessed in Nigeria.

dustydee:
So you will get a seat, bah? This one is different o.

bjdon:
I am sorry but there is nothing to celebrate here.

The meeting was scheduled to start at 10am. Buhari arrived early, ok that's good, but he should not have asked for the National Anthem to be sung and for the meeting to commence before 10am. If that is indeed what happened, then his behavior was actually disrespectful to the others who arrived after him but still before 10am.

Make I do wetin?

ibisko04:
I beg to differ from your observation. Punctuality is the soul of business. A meeting scheduled for 10.00am supposed to have had all the attendants sited by 9.50am.
Seriousness of the cabinet ministers matter a lots in achieving desires results.
