The Federal Government has revealed why President Bola Tinubu ordered ministers in his cabinet to call periodic press briefings.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, explained the rationale behind the move.

Idris gave the explanation during a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to Idris, the ministerial press briefings will be part of efforts to promote transparency and accountability in governance.

Speaking further on the development, Idris stressed that Tinubu had directed all ministers to appear periodically before the media to provide updates on their activities and policies.

He said, “The briefings will serve as a platform for ministers to directly engage with Nigerians, highlight key developments in their respective ministries, and address public concerns”

The minister noted that other ministers would also take turns weekly to address Nigerians as part of the ongoing ministerial press briefings.

The ministerial press briefings come ahead of the second anniversary of Tinubu’s administration, reinforcing the government’s commitment to keeping citizens informed about its programme and policies.
