The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has called for the development of a strategic and unified communication framework among government institutions to enhance coordination in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and banditry.
Idris made the call during a visit to the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, as part of ongoing engagements with key ministries and agencies.
According to him, improved collaboration and communication between government ministries and departments would strengthen security coordination and help address the country’s growing security challenges.
“The Federal Government believes that through interactions among ministries and departments, a strategic and unified communication framework can evolve that will boost the coordination of security actions in the fight against terrorism and banditry,” he said.
The minister explained that his ministry is actively engaging with strategic government institutions to better understand their operations and ensure that Nigerians are properly informed about government policies and programmes.
“We felt it was absolutely important for us not just to sit in our offices and wait for ministries to come for press conferences,” Idris stated.
“We believe it is important to visit ministries, interact with them, hear them out and align our communication so that we move in the same direction for our country.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at improving public awareness of government activities while ensuring that communication across ministries supports national development and security objectives.
