The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has commended the Governor of Kaduna State Uba Sani, for the proactive re-establishment of the Kaduna State Ministry of Information.
In a statement, the Minister described the development as a landmark decision, coming a decade after its dissolution and aligns with the Minister’s clarion call at the December 2024 National Council on Information meeting, where states were urged to prioritize the revitalization or creation of information ministries to strengthen governance, public engagement, and national unity.
The Minister added that the revival of Kaduna’s Ministry of Information will enhance synergy between federal and state information agencies, enabling seamless coordination on national priorities such as security, health, education, and economic reforms.
He revealed that with a functional state ministry, citizens in Kaduna will gain improved access to verified information on government policies, programs, and opportunities, fostering inclusivity and participatory governance.
