The Federal Government has reaffirmed its dedication to transparency, accountability, and sustainable reforms, assuring Nigerians that ongoing policies will yield positive outcomes.

Speaking at the fourth edition of the 2025 Ministerial Press Briefing Series in Abuja, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, emphasized the importance of open communication between the government and citizens.

He noted that the briefing series was designed to ensure Nigerians receive firsthand updates on government policies and progress.

“This session is an interactive platform leveraging multimedia channels to promote transparency and direct public engagement,” Idris stated.

He added that five ministers have already participated in the series, reinforcing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to openness in governance.

The briefing featured the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), and the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa. Also present were permanent secretaries, directors, and heads of government agencies.

Acknowledging the challenges posed by ongoing economic reforms, Idris reassured Nigerians that the hardships were temporary. “Our country stands at a critical juncture as President Tinubu implements bold and transformative reforms. Across the world, history has shown that meaningful reforms demand sacrifice, resilience, and a commitment to long-term progress,” he said.

He cited signs of economic improvement, including a reduction in food prices, exchange rate stability, and a gradual decline in petroleum costs.

He also praised the media for their role in informing the public and fostering democratic accountability.

As the country observes Ramadan and Lent, the Minister called on religious leaders to pray for peace, security, and national development. Reflecting on his recent address at the Annual Ramadan Lecture in Kaduna, he highlighted the role of faith in governance. “A nation thrives when its leaders govern with a sense of divine responsibility. President Tinubu leads with the utmost fear of God, guided by the conviction that history will judge his administration favorably,” he said.

He urged Nigerians to remain united and resilient, assuring them that with collective effort, the country would emerge stronger and more prosperous.
