Hon. Minister flanked by the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Ngozi Onwudiwe, and other officials of the Ministry.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has urged members of The Senate to review outdated laws in the information sector pending before the National Assembly to enable them to meet the requirements of the modern age.

The Minister noted that the problems bedevilling parastatals under the Ministry are rooted in their outdated enabling laws.

Suleiman Haruna, the Deputy Director, Press
Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, in a statement, stated that Idris made the plea during an interactive session with members of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation at the National Assembly on Wednesday, 22nd November 2023.

The ministry’s key mandate, he said, is ensuring that credible and timely information on government activities, programmes, and projects is available to Nigerians, noting that national orientation has been added to the Ministry because of the gradual erosion of values over the years, which has become a source of worry to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He disabused the minds of Nigerians that the Ministry is only a propaganda organ of government, noting that strategic communication will be applied in information dissemination for the benefit of all Nigerians.”

He also highlighted areas in which he believes the National Assembly can support the Ministry, including the review of enabling laws of the parastatals, which are already before the National Assembly, an improved appropriation to enable the Ministry to run its enormous mandate, and support in the establishment of the UNESCO-approved International Institute of Media and Information Literacy.

He expressed happiness that the leadership of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation is passionate about repositioning the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation and called for continued cooperation from the Senate to enable the Ministry to achieve its mandate.

The Minister used the occasion to inform the Senate of the desire of his Ministry to launch a “National Citizens Campaign,” which will provide an avenue for a robust conversation about citizenship, patriotism, and values.

In his remark, the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Emeka Kenneth Eze, commended the Minister on the work he has started and harped on the need for the Ministry to be more innovative and technology-driven and to generate its revenue rather than rely on subventions.

He promised that the Committee would work on the pending amendments to the enabling laws and support the Ministry to deliver on its mandates.

The minister’s delegation to the National Assembly included Directors and heads of agencies under the Ministry.
