The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has said that the reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu are aimed at improving the lives of all Nigerians.
Idris made this known on Wednesday in Abuja when a delegation from the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), led by General Secretary Onuoha Ukeh and Deputy President Sabestian Abu, paid him a courtesy visit.
He highlighted that key reforms, especially the removal of fuel subsidy, have enabled state governments to access more funds to provide democratic dividends to citizens.
“President Tinubu believes that no youths of school going age should stay at home because of the inability of their parents to pay their fees.
“Over N50 billion or so has been expended for the student loan project; now our students are happy to be in school and actualise their dreams,” Idris said.
On Agriculture, Idris said that the Federal Government believed that there is more work to be done in the sector, adding that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, the Ministry of Livestock was created by Tinubu.
He also noted that the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy established by Tinubu has the potential to boost the country’s economy via the exploration of aquatic resources.
On Security, Idris said it is not yet uhuru, but that there is relative improvement in security compared to some years back, especially on the Abuja-Kaduna Express road and other parts of the country.
He urged media practitioners to project the achievements of the nation’s gallant armed forces over the terrorists, bandits and other violent criminals across the country.
