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.

By Joel Ajayi

In the spirit of inclusivity and interfaith harmony, the Director-General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub, has urged Nigerians to embrace unity, love, and unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Buba made this call during a special Iftar dinner he hosted on Monday in Abuja for NTAC staff and selected stakeholders.

He emphasized that, given the developmental strides achieved in less than two years, Nigerians have every reason to be optimistic about the country’s future.

Speaking on the significance of Ramadan as a time for reflection, sacrifice, and compassion for the less privileged, Buba encouraged NTAC staff to cultivate mutual respect and teamwork in the workplace.

He stressed that unity and collaboration are essential in fulfilling the agency’s mandate and contributing to the collective vision of a greater Nigeria.

The event was not only a commemoration of Ramadan but also an opportunity to highlight NTAC’s achievements in promoting the foreign policy components of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. It also served as a platform to strengthen relationships among NTAC staff, stakeholders, and Nigerians, regardless of religious backgrounds.

The colorful gathering was attended by ambassadors, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NTAC staff, and other key stakeholders.

The event fostered informal discussions and team bonding beyond regular office engagements, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Among those who commended the Director-General for his thoughtful initiative was Amb. Yakubu Abdullahi Ahmed, Director of Administration at NTAC.

He praised the event for its role in rejuvenating the NTAC workforce and showcasing the Tinubu Administration’s global impact through the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps.
