Adesina said the meetings were suspended “because of the size, and that is not advisable at a time like this,” adding however that important decisions, which ought to be taken by the FEC, would still be taken by a smaller team of persons. The ministry shared pictures of the test-run on its twitter handle, @FMoCDENigeria, on Sunday evening.
