The Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris has reaffirmed that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains firmly committed to its core mandate: delivering meaningful reforms and real economic growth for the Nigerian people.
In a statement, the Minister acknowledged the right of all Nigerians to freely exercise their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of association and of speech, but notes that it is also important to underscore that President Tinubu’s administration will not be sidetracked by politicking or political distractions.
He said the clamour in the media about the emergence of a new political ‘coalition’ is understandable, but Nigerians entrusted President Tinubu with a bold and transformative mandate, anchored in the Renewed Hope agenda.
In just two years, this vision has already begun yielding tangible results. Crude oil theft has plummeted, investor confidence in the oil and gas sector is rebounding, inflation is easing, the Naira is stabilizing, security challenges are being confronted head-on, and millions of Nigerians—households, students, artisans, small business owners—are benefitting from initiatives such as student loans, access to consumer credit, CNG vehicle conversions, and improved government services and infrastructure.
He added that the President recently signed four groundbreaking tax reform bills into law, expected to significantly boost prosperity for households and businesses nationwide in addition to the single largest mechanisation drive ever undertaken in Nigeria’s history with the launch of the Renewed Hope Agricultural Mechanisation Programme.
Emerging coalitions and opposition political groupings do not want a sustained focus on the progress Nigeria is making, the Tinubu administration he insisted will remains undeterred, focused, and committed to building a more prosperous Nigeria for all.
