Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has heaped praises on what he called, “the outstanding developments in the Ministry of Solid Minerals geared towards positioning the sector as a front runner in Nigeria’s economic aspirations.

Idris, during a courtesy call on the Minister of Solid Minerals, Mr. Dele Alake, on Thursday, said he has noted with delight the impactful activities in the solid minerals sector which is resulting in direly needed reorganising of the industry players, and policy reviews, in tandem with the core objectives of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration.

Mr. Alake, according to Idris, is erecting an unprecedented governance structure in the solid minerals sector and is guiding positive interest amongst Nigerians toward a viable economic powerhouse.

Idris described his visit to Mr. Alake as a first official visit to any Minister colleague, saying Alake stands out as eclectic, who has the intellect and courage to make a success of a near dormant extractive sector that is capable of turning around Nigeria’s revenue potential and broaden employment opportunities.

Mr. Alake said both he and Idris were long-standing political allies who believed in the ideals of the President, Bola Tinubu, particularly in the overall interest of the socio-economic well-being of Nigeria, through the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“Idris and I are friends and his visit symbolizes our desire to nudge our country towards economic diversification and bring national and global attention to the solid minerals sector as a vehicle to attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Nigeria,” said Mr Alake.

The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.

She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing  two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.

“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.

Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.

“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.

Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.

She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
