At the Presidential Villa in Abuja, President Bola Tinubu met with the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, and the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, Mr. Mele Kyari.
This was the President's first official task following his inauguration as the country's 16th President at Eagle Square in Abuja.
He arrived at the State House forecourt around 2:30 p.m. through the quarter guard gate, which is his official entrance gate, and was greeted by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, the State House Permanent Secretary, Tijjani Umar, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the outgoing Director of Protocol, DOP.
Others who welcomed him were CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, NNPCL GCEO Mr Kyari, and Rt. Hon. James Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives.
The President walked directly to his office, accompanied by Emefiele, Kyari, Gbajabiamila, Faleke, and others.
Although the meeting's agenda was not made public, it is possible that it is related to the elimination of gasoline subsidies and the resulting fuel scarcity.
It is believed that the topic of currency unification, as well as the latest Naira makeover, would be discussed.
Remember that President Tinubu said during his inaugural speech that the subsidy had been abolished, prompting filling stations to close their doors.
