Tinubu’s Two-Year Achievements Reflect Visionary Leadership — Minister Idris

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has hailed the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over the past two years as undeniable proof of visionary and courageous leadership.

Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday at the inaugural National Dialogue on Citizen Engagement and National Security, themed “One Voice, One Vision: Uniting Perspectives for a Stronger Nigeria”, Idris said the dialogue came at a critical moment in Nigeria’s development.

“This forum, initiated by the Voice of Nigeria (VON), is more than a policy roundtable—it’s a platform to align governance strategies with the lived experiences of ordinary Nigerians,” the Minister said.

Highlighting recent developments, Idris pointed to the end of the oil subsidy regime, reforms in the foreign exchange system, expanded infrastructure projects, a historic student loan scheme, and the establishment of CreditCorp as major achievements.

“No administration in Nigeria’s democratic history has recorded such sweeping reforms within two years,” he said. “The Tinubu government has re-stimulated confidence among our youth and is laying the groundwork for long-term prosperity.”

He added that the impact of governance is beginning to materialize, citing falling food prices, enhanced security, the push for local government autonomy, and the establishment of new ministries like the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development and ministries dedicated to regional development.

Idris underscored the importance of trust and unity as the foundation for national security. “There can be no security without unity, and no unity without trust between the government and its citizens,” he said. He emphasized that the Renewed Hope Agenda is driven by citizen engagement, inclusivity, and accountability.

Praising the evolving role of Voice of Nigeria, he described the national broadcaster as a strategic tool in shaping Nigeria’s narrative both at home and abroad. “VON is not just reporting news—it is helping to forge a national identity, ensuring Nigeria’s voice is heard and respected globally,” he said.

Calling for synergy among government, media, civil society, and security stakeholders, Idris concluded: “We don’t need uniformity to achieve unity. Our diversity is not a weakness—it’s part of the solution. Let this dialogue move us from ideas to action, with renewed commitment to truth, equity, transparency, and compassion.”
