The federal executive council (FEC) meeting has been cancelled to enable President Muhammadu Buhari attend a meeting with service chiefs.
The security meeting which normally holds Monday was moved to Wednesday because of the Easter public holiday.
This is the fourth time FEC meeting will not hold since the inception of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2015.
The first time FEC meeting was put off was on August 23, 2017.

The meeting did not hold because a committee headed by the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo submitted a report to Buhari on Babachir Lawal, the then suspended secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), accused of corruption.
The president had just returned from a 103-day medical vacation in the UK.
On September 6, 2017, the Buhari administration failed to hold FEC meeting because Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, said there was not enough time to prepare documents.

This was owing to a two-day public holiday declared for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
The last time the meeting was put off was on February 28, 2018.
