The Federal Government has initiated ministerial press briefings to foster transparency and accountability in governance.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made this announcement during a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Idris explained that President Bola Tinubu had mandated all ministers to periodically appear before the media to provide updates on their activities and policies. This directive aims to ensure that Nigerians are well-informed about government initiatives and operations.
The minister noted that other ministers would also take turns weekly to address Nigerians as part of the ongoing ministerial press briefings.
The ministerial press briefings come ahead of the second anniversary of Tinubu’s administration, reinforcing the government’s commitment to keeping citizens informed about its programme and policies.
