SKAiF NewsNG SNN
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, says the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu are yielding measurable results.
Idris said this on Thursday when the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
“For the first time in 13 years, Nigeria’s foreign reserves have crossed the 50-billion-dollar mark.
“Nigeria has also been removed from the Financial Action Task Force grey list, which sends a strong signal to investors around the world that Nigeria is open and ready for legitimate business,” Idris said.
According to him, the Ministry of Information remains committed to amplifying the Federal Government’s policies and programmes, particularly those aimed at strengthening the nation’s economic environment and attracting investment.
“The Ministry plays a crucial role in ensuring that Nigerians and the international community fully understand the reforms being implemented by the Tinubu administration and the opportunities it creates for economic growth.
“The Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation is always about servicing you and amplifying the work that you do.
The ministry is also about ensuring that we ventilate some of those programmes and policies so that Nigerians and people outside Nigeria will really understand what it is that you do,” Idris said.
He said that the administration was taking decisive steps to strengthen critical infrastructure supporting industrialisation, including reforms in the power sector to ensure a more reliable electricity supply for businesses and industries.
The minister assured of continued support in communicating government reforms and promoting Nigeria’s investment opportunities globally.
Earlier, Oduwole said that the visit was aimed at strengthening collaboration with the Ministry of Information and National Orientation.
The trade and investment minister said that the synergy would be geared towards amplifying the ministry’s programmes and policy direction, particularly as Nigeria pushes for greater industrialisation, increased trade, and higher non-oil exports.
She said that the ministry was focusing on unlocking global and regional demand for Nigerian products, strengthening domestic industrial capacity, and mobilising strategic investment to support economic transformation.
“Telling our story is a responsibility for us as an administration. With all that we have done in the last three years, it is important to amplify the concrete evidence of the reforms that have been implemented,” she said.
She also highlighted Nigeria’s active engagement in regional and global trade initiatives, including the African Continental Free Trade Area, as part of efforts to position Nigerian businesses to compete effectively in regional and international markets.
