ENUGU — The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the South-East region remains central to President Bola Tinubu’s vision and development agenda, vowing that the era of marginalisation is gone for good.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, gave the assurance on Thursday during a Citizens’ Engagement programme in Enugu State, part of a three-day tour of projects in Enugu and Ebonyi States. The visit aims to interact directly with residents and showcase ongoing federal projects in the region.
“Nigeria will never go back to that era where the South-East or certain parts of the country are treated marginally,” Idris declared.
He noted that President Tinubu has taken concrete steps to address past concerns of exclusion, including the establishment of new development commissions for all previously uncovered zones, ensuring that “no region is left behind.”
According to the minister, the President’s inclusive leadership style is reflected in balanced appointments and equitable distribution of projects nationwide.
“By the end of Tinubu’s first term, the benefits of his reforms will be clearer,” Idris said, adding that the administration remains committed to transparency, accountability, and delivering the dividends of democracy to all Nigerians.
“With Tinubu, Nigeria is marching towards prosperity,” he stated.
