President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, met behind closed-doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting is coming on the heels of the building collapse two days after the former governor of Rivers State assumed duty as the FCT Minister.
The agenda of the meeting was not made public but it may not be unconnected with the building collapse in Abuja on Wednesday in which about two persons were feared dead and 37 persons wounded.
It was expected that the Minister would brief the President on the unfortunate event and the level of casualty recorded.

Former Chelsea player Scott Minto has said that the Blues new signing, Nicolas Jackson, reminds him of Didier Drogba.
Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal this summer.
Although the forward has yet to score for his new club, he has looked sharp in their two Premier League encounters against Liverpool and West Ham United.
Minto was impressed by the 22-year-old and offered huge praise for Jackson.
“Do you know who he reminded me of in that first half? Didier Drogba. He was holding defenders off, running in behind. I was like, ‘Wow, this is a player,” he said.
