No preceding government has achieved what Tinubu administration has achieved in just two years – Information Minister, Mohammed Idris
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has asserted that the Tinubu administration’s accomplishments within just two years serve as undeniable proof of its visionary and courageous leadership.
Idris made this claim at the inaugural National Dialogue on Citizen Engagement and National Security, themed “One Voice, One Vision: Uniting Perspectives for a Stronger Nigeria,” held in Abuja on Tuesday. According to the Minister, the event occurred at a time when Nigeria is “at the confluence of purpose and possibility.” He emphasized that this forum, initiated by the Voice of Nigeria (VON), is not merely a theoretical discussion platform but a deliberate effort to align policy perspectives with the everyday experiences of ordinary Nigerians.
“Just last week,” Idris highlighted, “we commemorated the second anniversary of the Tinubu administration with ample proof of its monumental positive impact.”
He stressed that no administration in Nigeria’s democratic history has achieved such extensive reforms and successes within two years. “No preceding government has ever achieved what the Tinubu administration has achieved in two years
First, the courage to vanquish the monster of oil subsidy and the forex racket, and then massive road infrastructure, an unprecedented students’ loans scheme, and the CreditCorp, indeed, policies that are re-stimulating confidence in our young population.”
The Minister further noted that the Tinubu administration’s policies are starting to yield tangible results.
“After a stormy start, food prices are falling, even as we are stemming the tide of insecurity, while the impact of governance, for the first time in decades, is making a new headway through the local government autonomy, the creation of ministries for regional development, and the biggest boost in agriculture, the creation of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development.” He added that “with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the voices are audibly uniting in further support of a man of vision and courage.”
Underscoring the primary objective of the national dialogue, the Minister described national unity and citizen trust as the bedrock of national security.
“There can be no national security without national unity. And there can be no unity without trust. In times of uncertainty and insecurity, our greatest weapon is not force. It is trust between the governed and those who govern,” he stated. He pointed out that the Renewed Hope Agenda is built on citizen participation and engagement, where every Nigerian “must feel, be seen, heard, and valued.”
“VON is not just broadcasting news, but shaping narratives and forging national identity… ensuring that, whether it is in Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, or English, whether in Berlin or Birnin Kebbi, the voice of Nigeria is heard, respected, and trusted, echoing authoritatively from within a united people and secured territory,” he said.
This dialogue is a symbol of that possibility as a platform where differences are not erased but embraced, as part of a collective solution. I encourage us to leave here with more than ideas. Let us leave with commitment. A renewed commitment to truth in our media, institutions, to equity in our policies, to transparency in our governance, and to compassion in our communities,” he said.
