“The signing of the N54.2 trillion budget by President Bola Tinubu, the largest in Nigeria’s history, testifies to the administration’s commitment to economic growth, national security, infrastructure development, and human capital advancement. I therefore call on all Nigerians to support these efforts and join hands in building a prosperous and united Nigeria,” he said.

Mr. Idris stressed that the transformative reforms initiated by President Tinubu’s administration focus on investment in critical sectors that directly impact the well-being and socio-economic development of the country.

“The 2025 budget is not just a financial document; it is a bold statement of intent—a roadmap for economic resilience, social stability, and national progress. The budget has demonstrated a renewed focus on security, infrastructure, education, health, solid minerals, agriculture, and other key areas that have a direct impact on the well-being and socio-economic development of the country,” Idris noted.

The Information Minister maintained that democracy only thrives on informed discourse, constructive engagement, and a shared commitment to national progress.

While commending the role of the media in strengthening the country’s democracy by promoting public participation in governance, he urged the media to uphold the highest standards of accuracy, responsibility, and professionalism in their reports.

“In an era where misinformation and sensationalism can easily distort public perception, your commitment to truth and fairness is more important than ever. We must work together to ensure that the narratives shaping public discourse reflect the realities of governance, devoid of bias or undue sensationalism,” he said.

The Third Edition of the Ministerial Briefing Session featured the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole and the Minister of State, Senator John Owan Enoh.
