Muhammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, emphasized that the ministry’s commitment lies in honest communication rather than resorting to falsehoods to support the government.
Upon taking office, he reaffirmed the principles of transparency and truthfulness, stating that both the ministry and the government would uphold these values in disseminating information.
He said the government would own up where it errs or make any mistake and try to adjust where necessary.
Idris said National orientation would be a core aspect of the government, hence “in a matter of days we would roll out our plans to Nigerians.”
He called on Nigerians to shun fake news and always clarify issues before taking it out to the public, hence noted that the ministry would be accountable and open to nigerians.
On her part, Minister of Arts, Culture and Creative economy, Mrs Hannatu Musawa said the ministry would export Nigeria to the world and would also make money for Nigeria.
She said the ministry would also do all it has to do to change the negative narrative which the country has across the world.
Musawa emphasized the significance of reinstating the nation’s unity, a cherished aspiration held by Nigeria’s founding fathers.
