‘Gateway to Nigeria’: Minister unveils information portal

Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris has launched the Nigerian National Information Portal, as the official digital gateway to comprehensive information about Nigeria.

The minister launched the portal at the commencement of the Ministerial Sectoral Briefings to mark the first anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration in Abuja on Thursday, May 23, 2024.

Idris said the portal serves as a centralised source for both local and international audiences, providing reliable and up-to-date information on various aspects of the nation, including the government, Nigerians, and their cultural heritage, among others.

He said: “We use this opportunity to launch the Nigerian National Information Portal. Of course, it was in existence before but it has been so badly managed that the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation has resuscitated this new portal.

“It is a gateway to all the information you require to know about this government; about Nigeria, people, and our cultures. So, join me in clapping for Nigeria for having this relaunched new National Information Portal.”

The link to the portal is www.nigeria.gov.ng.

The minister added that Tinubu has started laying a solid and enduring foundation that will make life better for Nigerians.

Idris said: “Landmark initiatives like the Consumer Credit Corporation, the Nigeria Education Loan Fund, Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas, N200 billion Presidential Grant and Loan Scheme, our Agriculture and Food Security efforts (including the launch of Dry Season Farming, and massive fertilizer distribution), the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund (RHIDF), Renewed Hope Cities and Estates programme, our reform efforts in the Electricity Sector, and in the area of Taxes and Fiscal Policy, and the negotiations for a befitting new National Minimum Wage – are some of the many policies and programs that will directly touch and improve the lives and livelihoods of tens of millions of Nigerians.”
