The meeting, which started at about 11:00 a.m. lasted over ten hours at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
As at 9:30 p.m., the meeting was still on.
The meeting was scheduled to deliberate on fewer than 25 memos from Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The longest meeting went for break twice to enable the cabinet members attend to some spiritual obligations and other needs.
Buhari had, before the commencement of the Council meeting, inaugurated the Governing Board of the North East Development Commission.
