The federal government has said that the South-East region is at the heart of the vision and agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The government stressed that, in the various reforms, strategic and inclusive leadership of Tinubu, the South-East region has not and will not be marginalised.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, stated this during Citizens’ Engagement with the people of Enugu State on Thursday in Enugu.
The federal government team led by the minister is embarking on a three-day citizens’ engagement and tour of projects in Enugu and Ebony states.
The essence of the tour is reportedly to interact directly with citizens and showcase ongoing projects of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration in the South East region.
“Nigeria will never go back to that era where the South-East or certain part of the country is being treated marginally,” he said
The minister further explained that, to address issues of marginalisation, Tinubu established new development commissions for all previously uncovered zones, ensuring no region is left behind.
He added that the President’s inclusive governance style is evident in balanced appointments and equitable distribution of
projects.
“By the end of Tinubu’s first term, the benefits of his reforms will be clearer.
“The federal government remains committed to transparency, accountability, and delivering the dividends of democracy to all Nigerians.
“With Tinubu, Nigeria is marching towards prosperity,” Idris said.
