President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday presided over the Federal Executive Council meeting at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The session was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, as well as a majority of cabinet ministers.
During the meeting, Akume formally informed the council of the death of former Minister of Agriculture and ex-Peoples Democratic Party National Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who passed away on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at the age of 78.
Describing Ogbeh as a patriot, Akume noted his service to the nation under the administration of late President Muhammadu Buhari and his role in national politics.
The council members thereafter observed a minute’s silence in honour of the late elder statesman.
