President Bola Tinubu is in an emergency meeting with all the State governors from across the federation, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FTC) Nyesom Wike and other stakeholders.
Vice President Kashim Shettima is also at the meeting, which commenced around 11:30am on Thursday.
The meeting, which is taking place at the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja, is not unconnected with the security and economic crisis ravaging the country.
The Federal government said it has started releasing tonnes of assorted grains to the market to make food available, affordable and accessible across the country.
Similarly, measures have been taken to arrest the rising criminal activities through synergy among the armed forces and other paramilitary organisations.
President Tinubu is expected to leave for the AU summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia immediately after the meeting.
African leaders will meet in Addis Ababa for the annual summit to be used to tackle the many challenges facing the continent and decide on how best to bolster the AU’s intervention in its various crises.
