Nigeria’s economy gradually reviving, says minister

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has called on Nigerians to have faith in the administration of President Bola Tinubu as it is making efforts to address the nation’s challenges.

He said the nation’s economy was gradually reviving under Tinubu.

Idris spoke on Wednesday during an Iftar (breaking of fast) with media executives in Kano.

According to him, the present administration under Tinubu is working hard to address the challenges that he said would soon be over.

He said the President had introduced policies and programmes that would uplift the well-being of Nigerians.

“Nigerians should have trust and confidence in the leadership of President Bola Tinubu to ensure successful implementation of the policies and programmes of his administration, ” he said.

He said the Ministry of Information and National Orientation was committed to ensuring a total overhaul of the agencies under the ministry with a view to enhancing the sector.

The minister disclosed that the administration was working hard to revive the nation’s refineries, stressing that the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery would soon be completed for production to commence.

Idris, who expressed dismay at how the Central Bank of Nigeria was mismanaged by the previous leadership of the bank, noted that the administration of Tinubu had restored the lost glory of the apex bank through the adoption of apt policies.

“The Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu has started yielding positive results because the economy of the country is gradually reviving,” he added.
