APRNEWS - Idris made this revelation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday.

The minister noted this was a mandate given to him by the president.

He added that Tinubu also mandated him to promote patriotism, honesty, and transparency as the core values of the administration.

He said, “President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ is to take Nigeria to an enviable height among the committee of nations and change the negative narrative about the country.

“He charged me with the responsibility to ensure that Nigerians are reoriented within the few years that we are here, so that, at least, we can recover our sense as a nation and begin to go in the right direction.

“It is a great challenge. You know that moral decadence is not among the youths only but among the entire social strata of the country.

“I think that is why the president renamed the Ministry of Information and Culture to the Ministry of Information and National Orientation.

“It means the president wants to put the issues of orientation and reorientation on the front burner,” Idris said.

He has given us a marching order to see that those values are promoted and put on the front burner and disseminated to the majority of Nigerians for the good of all”.
