THE Presidency has said the failure of some ministers to render accounts of their stewardship prompted President Bola Tinubu’s recent directive for periodic press briefings by cabinet members.
On Tuesday, the Federal Government announced that ministers would begin to hold regular press briefings next week to update Nigerians on government policies and activities.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this in Abuja, stating that President Tinubu had mandated all ministers to engage with the public regularly to promote transparency and accountability.
According to Idris, the briefings will provide a platform for ministers to highlight key developments in their respective ministries, address public concerns, and combat misinformation.
