The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working hard towards bettering the lives of Nigerians, News About Nigeria reports.
Idris stated this on Saturday when featured in the flagship live phone-in programme of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Kaduna, ‘Hannu da Yawa’.
He noted that the President is committed to improving the overall well-being of Nigerians, especially through positive policies and activities targeted at farmers.
He maintained that before the Tinubu-led administration, practices and programmes tailored towards sustainability usually ended up in the hands of people who capitalised on such programmes for their selfish interests.
He added that Tinubu’s administration is keen on ensuring food security, as he has rolled out measures and programmes that were targeted directly at the actual farmers.
“Before President Tinubu’s administration, farmers were not the beneficiaries of funds made for agricultural activities.
“President Tinubu has put more effort into ensuring productive outcomes in dry season farming, a lot of measures have been put in place in restructuring loans and other interventions for agriculture,” he stated.
Speaking on alleged abandoned projects in the northern parts of the country, Idris stated that no responsible government can abandon projects that funds have already been put into, maintaining that the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline and the Mambilla Power Project, among numerous projects in the northern parts of the country, were still in existence.
The minister further restated Tinubu’s commitment to the fight against corruption, while urging the public to shun fake news and other comments aimed at discrediting the government.
He also urged the public to be patient with Tinubu’s administration, stressing that a lot of viable programmes and measures would be rolled out to make people’s lives better.
