The Federal Government has announced plans to reinstitute a national discourse on reorientation
following the lack of trust on the ruling class by the citizens
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said this while speaking to State House correspondents after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.
Idris said that the president had given him the marching orders to initiate a programme to reconstruct the belief in the concept of nationhood and patriotism, which he said had broken down.
The minister lamented that Nigerians no longer believe in the leaders they have elected and that flags were no longer flying in public buildings.

He said that the new reorientation drive would focus on bringing back discipline, patriotism, and belief in the nationhood that Nigeria’s founding fathers had envisioned.
Idris also revealed that plans are underway to revive the information office in the 774 local government areas in the country in order to have the required personnel to implement the new reorientation drive.
He assured that the Tinubu administration would not seek to gag the media, being a believer in freedom of the press himself, but warned that the media must exercise such freedom with responsibility.
