The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has revealed that he facilitated 30 federal appointments for the people of Niger State. This disclosure was made during a recent visit to his home village, Malagi, in Gbako Local Government Area, where he commissioned several community projects.
The revelation came as Idris addressed concerns raised by a traditional ruler in his constituency, who claimed that no federal appointments had been secured for the area.
In response, Idris highlighted his efforts, stating, “Since I was appointed as minister, I facilitated the appointment of Jibrin Baba Ndace as Director General of the Voice of Nigeria. I also facilitated over 30 federal appointments for citizens of the state since I became minister.”
The minister also commissioned several projects aimed at improving the quality of life in the community.
These included a newly constructed Islamiyya School, a mosque, electrification initiatives, water projects, and the remodeling of a primary school. He emphasized that these efforts were part of a larger plan to promote education, peace, and unity.
Idris used the opportunity to advocate for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reform policies, which he described as “well thought out” and geared toward long-term national prosperity.
Acknowledging the current challenges, he urged Nigerians to support the president’s vision, assuring them that economic reforms would yield tangible benefits by 2025.
Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago also attended the event, pledging continued support for rural development. He announced plans to upgrade the renovated primary school to a model junior secondary school and promised the construction of a market for the community.
Bago donated over N12 million to various groups, including women, youths, and vigilantes, as part of his commitment to improving living conditions across the state.
The Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, commended both the minister and the governor, urging elected officials to prioritize the development of their communities.
