The Presidency has explained why the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting for this week has been postponed.
The meeting is held on Wednesday every week at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The explanation was given for the postponement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.
The postponement of FEC meeting, he said was due to the fact that all the memos earlier submitted to the Council for consideration had been returned to the various ministries.
The action, he said, would allow ministers who were recently sworn in have their inputs in the memos sent by their predecessors in office.
He stated that similarly, the period would enable the ministers, who were still taking briefs from bureaucrats in the ministries and familiarising themselves with their work space, have more time to contribute to discussions at the meeting.
He said they would also utilise the period of the break to work towards the early preparation and submission of the 2020 budget estimates.
