The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris has said that the signing of the N54.2 trillion budget by President Bola Tinubu, the largest in Nigeria’s history, testifies to the administration’s commitment to economic growth, national security, infrastructure development, and human capital advancement.
Speaking at the ministerial briefing on Tuesday, the Minister said that this year, 2025, is set to be the year of consolidation – a year where all the transformative reforms initiated by President Tinubu’s administration begin to bear tangible fruits in the lives of Nigerians.
He said: “Already, we are witnessing a gradual reduction in the prices of foodstuffs, which is bringing much-needed relief to the people.
“The 2025 budget is not just a financial document; it is a bold statement of intent – a roadmap for economic resilience, social stability, and national progress.
“The budget has demonstrated a renewed focus on security, infrastructure, education, health, solid minerals, agriculture, and other key areas that have a direct impact on the well-being and socio-economic development of the country.
“Let me give the assurances that the Federal government remains committed to the efficient implementation of this budget in order to maximize its full impact on the lives of our citizens. I therefore call on all Nigerians to support these efforts and join hands in building a prosperous and united Nigeria.”
