Vice President Kashim Shettima is notably absent as he is currently in the United States of America. Some ministers, such as those overseeing Culture, Art, Creative Economy (Hannatu Musawa) and Tourism (Lola Ade-John), are also not in attendance.

Last Monday, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced that the council meetings would henceforth be held on Mondays, in contrast to the previous schedule of Wednesdays. Idris clarified that the council would convene as needed rather than on a weekly basis.
