President Bola Tinubu is currently in a closed-door meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima and select governors at the State House in Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the meeting began shortly after the President concluded discussions with organized labour leaders regarding the new minimum wage.
In attendance are Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) Chairman AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara state), Charles Soludo (Anambra state), and Usman Ododo (Kogi state).
