“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
