The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has stated that the President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s policies are beginning to yield fruits.
He stated this during the 4th edition of 2025 ministerial briefing featuring the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, and the Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Ahmed.
The ministers would update Nigerians on the progress and key achievements recorded under their stewardship.
Idris hailed the media for unwavering dedication in covering the Ministerial Briefing Session, adding that their efforts in keeping Nigerians informed about the administration’s policies, programmes and achievements are truly commendable.
He noted that the country stands at a critical juncture as Tinubu implements bold and transformative reforms to lay the foundation for a new Nigeria.
According to him, across the world, history has shown that meaningful reforms are never easy but demands sacrifice, resilience, and a commitment to long-term progress.
“The initial pains that often accompany these changes are the necessary price for a more stable and prosperous future,” he said.
He appreciated Nigerians for their patience, perseverance and unwavering belief in the President’s vision.
“These reforms are not just well-intentioned, they are essential for the growth and development of our nation. Let me say that we have crossed the Rubicon, and the pains are gradually easing as the positive impact of these reforms begins to take shape
“Already, we are witnessing a marked reduction in food prices, stability in exchange rates, and a gradual decline in the cost of petroleum products, which are clear indicators that the reforms are yielding positive results.
“As we continue on this journey, I am appealing to our religious leaders to use this sacred period of Ramadan and Lent to offer prayers for the peace, security, and progress of our nation.
“I want to urge our Muslim and Christian leaders, particularly during this period of fasting and reflection, to continue to pray for Nigeria’s success. With unity, faith, and collective effort, we will emerge stronger, more resilient, and positioned for lasting prosperity,” the minister added.
