Likewise, security chief and other heads of various security agencies such as the police and the State Security Service (SSS) attended the meeting.
It was believed the leaders came together to find a lasting solution to the wave of insecurity blowing round the country, which was also made ticker by the recent #EndSARS protest, though details of the meeting were not formally disclosed.
Other issued which was speculated must have been discussed include the protesters call for police reform and the violence that has resulted from it.
Dozens of people including protesters and police officers have been killed across Nigeria as hoodlums hijacked protests by young Nigerians which began peacefully.
Two weeks after the protests started, President Buhari Thursday night finally addressed Nigerians on it.
He appealed to protesters to end the protests and called for an end to violence. He, however, did not condemn the attack on peaceful protesters by security officials.
