Muhammad Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, has declared that his office will truthfully disseminate programmes and activities of the federal government to engender people’s trust.
He said this on Monday while briefing newsmen after the inauguration of 45 new ministers at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Idris said that the management of government information was vital for the progress of the country nationally and internationally.
‘’As a minister of Information and National Orientation, I have the duty of telling Nigerians the true picture of what transpired about the various programmes and projects of the administration in all sectors.
“Being truthful and effective as minister of Information is essential to engender the trust of the people on various programmes and projects of the administration.
“I cannot say that it is a thankless job because the minister is only expected to truthfully disseminate the activities of the government.
“If you do that, then you are free with God and the people,’’ he said.
