Amid discovering that nothing has been achieved, Information Minister Mohammed Idris has revealed that Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s first anniversary in office will be marked with a low-key observance.
Speaking at a Ministerial Press Briefing on Wednesday, Idris emphasized that the anniversary would not involve any celebrations. Instead, the focus will be on sectorial presentations by various ministries.
According to him, the move is in line with Tinubu’s desire to serve the country and efficiently use resources for the good of all Nigerians.
Idris stated, “The first anniversary will be low-key. There will be no celebration. It will be a sectorial presentation by ministries. This is in line with Tinubu’s administration to ensure efficient and judicious use of resources to deliver dividends of democracy to citizens.”
“The president has directed that useful information should be provided in an honest, timely and consistent manner. Members of the media are expected to report honestly, responsibly, and with a deep sense of patriotism. The essence of the media is to inform the people and hold the government accountable.
“Thus, over time, the Ministry of Information and National Orientation finds it worthy to always brief the media and people on what the federal government is doing,” The minister added.
He called on media practitioners to report with responsibility and patriotism, underscoring the role of the media in informing the public and holding the government accountable.
As part of the ministerial briefing, presentations by ministers of various ministries are set to commence on May 22.
