Alhaji Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, has stated that President Bola Tinubu has charged him with advocating for patriotism, honesty, and transparency as the fundamental principles of the administration.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, the Minister conveyed this message.
He emphasized that President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ aims to elevate Nigeria to a commendable position among nations and shift the unfavorable perception of the country.
“He charged me with the responsibility to ensure that Nigerians are reoriented within the few years that we are here, so that, at least, we can recover our sense as a nation and begin to go in the right direction.
“It is a great challenge. You know that moral decadence is not among the youths only but among the entire social strata of the country.
“I think that is why the president renamed the Ministry of Information and Culture to the Ministry of Information and National Orientation.
“It means the president wants to put the issues of orientation and reorientation on the front burner,” Idris said.
The Minister further explained that the virtues of patriotism, honesty and transparency were some of the things that Tinubu is vigorously promoting.
“He has given us a marching order to see that those values are promoted and put on the front burner and disseminated to the majority of Nigerians for the good of all,” he said.
