The government of President Bola Tinubu is committed to implementing macroeconomic reforms to boost growth, curb inflation and stabilise the currency.
Information and National Orientation Minister, Mohammed Idris said this at the 2024 Press Week of the Niger State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists.
Idris said the year holds a lot of prospects for Nigerians as some of the promising initiatives of the administration begin to bear fruits.
According to him, the policies of President Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda take firmer roots for the growth of the nation’s economic development, invaluable human assets, and national security.
He also said government is showing fidelity to the rule of law and the independence of institutions, citing recent court judgments that upheld its decisions.
Idris explained that the relocation of some departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the headquarters of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to Lagos is part of a strategy to enhance operational efficiency, streamline processes and ensure a responsive financial system for Nigeria.
He emphasised that the move has no political motivation and aligns with global best practices.
The Minister assured that no policy of the administration will put any part of the country at a disadvantage, adding that Tinubu’s commitment to fairness and equitable development is reflected in his policies.
He also called on the media to support the government in the fight against fake news, which he said is a menace that is deliberately designed to misinform Nigerians.
The Minister who spoke through Director General of the Voice of Nigeria, Jibrin Baba Ndace, announced that government will soon unveil the details of the National Values Charter, which aims to inculcate values in the citizenry.
