Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has shed more light on why the Tinubu administration created the Ministries of Livestock Development and that of Regional Development.<\/p>\n

Those are the two new Ministries created by the President and they are headed by Mr Abubakar Eshiokpekha Momoh and Alhaji Idi Mukhtar respectively.<\/p>\n

Both ministers featured on the first day of the second edition of its Ministerial Briefing Session.<\/p>\n

In his welcome address, Idris emphasized that both ministries were created to harness the vast potential of Nigeria\u2019s livestock industry and to drive regional development across the six geo-political zones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese two Ministries happen to be the newest in the country. The Ministry of Livestock Development was created in July 2024, to transform Nigeria\u2019s multi-billion-dollar livestock potential into actual economic prosperity for Nigerians, while the Ministry of Regional Development was created in October 2024, to oversee the activities of the country\u2019s regional development commissions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese two Ministers have since hit the ground running, and they are here today to shed more light on what they have been working on since the creation of their Ministries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Minister also commended the media for their dedication in covering the Ministerial Briefing Sessions, describing them as invaluable partners in informing Nigerians. He urged journalists to uphold accuracy and fairness in their reporting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe media have remained invaluable partners in our stride to continue to update Nigerians on the laudable achievements of the Tinubu Administration. I urge the media to ensure that these briefings are reported with the utmost sense of fairness and accuracy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be no recourse to sensationalism in the reporting of government policies and programs. Criticisms and disagreements are welcome, in the spirit of democratic practice, but misinformation and disinformation should have no room whatsoever in public discourse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Idris assured that the government will provide wide publicity for the briefing sessions across multiple media platforms to promote accountability and encourage public feedback.<\/p>\n
