Tinubu working to turn Nigeria’s potentials into prosperity – Idris

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, says President Bola Tinubu is working day and night to turn Nigeria’s potential into prosperity for all Nigerians.

Idris stated this in an interview with newsmen at the sidelines of the Nigeria Public Relations Week (NPRW 2025) on Tuesday in Uyo,

The six days event with the theme, “Harnessing Public Relations for Nigeria’s Economic Renaissance,” was organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR).

“Nigeria is a country full of potentials; president Bola Tinubu is working day and night to turn these potentials into prosperity. He is working together with his council members and all government officials to achieve it.

“All of us have to come together to support him, to ensure that Nigeria rises again. We are on the way to getting that done,” he said.

On the question of reputation, the Minister said reputation is everything, stressing that you are what your reputation says about you.

He added that it would be repulsive if the entire world sees our country in the negative and urged practitioners and everyone to speak well and good about Nigeria.

“You cannot at the time you are asking others to come and invest in your country and at the same time be talking ill about that same country.

“Nobody will come. No one will come from anywhere to fix this country, it is only Nigerians who will have to work hard to make sure that Nigeria takes its rightful place as a leading member in the committee of nations.

“Already, President Tinubu is on that journey through his strategic investment in Nigeria, reforms he is instituting and all the strategic partnerships he is forging with other countries and world leaders.

“We are beginning to see that Nigeria is rising again and we do hope that it will be sustained and supported by all Nigerians both home and abroad so that together, collectively, we can take Nigeria to its desired destination,” Idris stressed.
