Anite emphasized the Ministry\u2019s commitment to innovative solutions and cross-sector collaboration.<\/p>\n

In attendance were Senior Special Assistant to the President on Information and Strategy Mr Bayo Onanuga, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Dr Ngozi Onwudiwe, as well as Chief Executive Officers of agencies under the two ministries.<\/p>\n
