President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with key members of his economic and fiscal management team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Those in attendance included the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun; Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu; Minister of State for Petroleum (Gas), Mr. Ekperikpe Ekpo; Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mr. Bashir Ojulari; and Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr. Zacch Adedeji, among others.

While the agenda of the meeting was not disclosed, a senior presidency source described it as a routine engagement, during which top officials in charge of economic and financial matters brief the President on developments in their respective sectors.

The ministers and agency heads arrived separately for the session, which is believed to have focused on updates concerning fiscal performance, reforms, and projections for the second half of the year.

FIRS Chairman Adedeji was expected to have briefed the President on the roadmap for implementing the four new tax laws recently signed by Tinubu, which are scheduled to take effect from January 2026.

Although the Central Bank Governor, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, was absent, discussions reportedly also covered monetary and fiscal policy coordination, particularly in light of ongoing efforts to stabilise the naira and curb inflation.

Similarly, Mr. Edun and Senator Bagudu were said to have presented reports on macroeconomic indicators, budget performance, and strategies to boost investor confidence.

The meeting comes amid growing scrutiny of the administration’s economic reforms, revenue mobilisation strategies, and renewed efforts to unlock investment in Nigeria’s gas sector.
