On
Tuesday, May 30, President Bola Tinubu met with Mr. Godwin Emefiele, governor
of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and Mr. Mele Kyari, group chief executive
officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, at the Presidential
Villa in Abuja.
This
was the President's first official task following his inauguration as the
nation's 16th President at Eagle Square, Abuja.
The
Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, the Permanent Secretary of the State
House, Tijjani Umar, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi
Gbajabiamila, and the departing Director of Protocol, DOP, welcomed him when he
arrived at the State House forecourt at around 2:30 p.m. through the quarter
guard gate, which is his official entrance gate.
Others
included Rt. Hon. James Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives; the
governor of CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele; the GCEO of NNPCL, Mr. Kyari; and others.
The
president, along with Emefiele, Kyari, Gbajabiamila, Faleke, and others, went
right to his office.
Although
the meeting's agenda was kept secret, it might have something to do with the
elimination of fuel subsidies and the resulting fuel shortage.
It
is anticipated that the recent Naira Redesign, the issue of unifying foreign
exchange, and other factors will all play a role.
