Abuja where the federal government has taken bold steps to address the rising cost of food prices across the country as it plans to convene a meeting of the National Food Security Council shortly.
It has also lined up concrete actions to ensure the growth of some sectors of the nation’s economy that have refused to grow in recent times.
The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, made this known to newsmen after the weekly virtual Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the State House.
The FEC also approved a total sum of eight point three billion naira to enable the Ministry of Police Affairs acquire some operational vehicles.
It is, however, not clear if the forthcoming general elections in the country, inspired FEC to make such approvals.
