“The meeting which was held on 29th November, 2019 in the Minister’s Conference Room at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja was to resolved the impasse, but unfortunately, the President continue to carry out the infractions complained about by the other members even after the meeting, as she said she has a flight to catch back to Lagos and worked out of the Executive Board Members and other ministry staff present”.
