Gombe, Nigeria: The Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation on Monday convened a town hall meeting at the Federal Secretariat in Gombe, presenting the Tinubu Administration’s Midterm Report under the theme “Tinubu Administration Midterm Report” delivered by Minister of Information Muhammad Idris.
The gathering brought together traditional rulers, security agencies, youth groups, and women representatives, who reflected on the achievements, challenges, and policy directions of the Federal Government.
A representative of the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation assured Nigerians of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to quality service delivery and sustained engagement with citizens on Government programs.
Similarly, the representative of the Gombe State Ministry of Information and Ethical Orientation described the town hall as a vital platform for collective reflection and progress assessment.
“Today’s meeting provides an invaluable platform to measure progress and chart new pathways for advancement. The Tinubu administration has demonstrated true commitment to security interventions, restored peace to our communities, and prioritized the Northeast in its vision for a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria,” the representative said while unveiling the administration’s midterm report.
Speaking to journalists, Mr. Saifulahi Waziri, Senior Special Adviser to Governor Inuwa Yahaya, acknowledged the economic hardship facing Nigerians but maintained that President Tinubu’s reforms are designed to deliver long-term benefits.
“Even though we are in a period of hardship, the Government is doing a lot. The reforms put in place will stimulate the system to be fully alive. Unlike in the past when interventions failed to yield results, this administration is introducing transformative policies. Already, we are seeing food prices stabilizing, and if Nigerians view government efforts with a wider lens, they will notice the positive changes,” Waziri said.
On the State of the Northeast, Comrade Sulaiman Abdul-Malik emphasized that security has significantly improved compared to past years of insurgency, while infrastructure and development projects are also expanding across the region.
“There were times you couldn’t visit some Local Governments or attend Mosque or Church freely, but most of those days are now history. Educational initiatives have brought back out-of-school children, while road and power projects like Dadinkowa Dam are functional. The re-awarding of the railway line contract from Maiduguri to Port Harcourt is another major boost. More should be expected because the trajectory is on the positive side,” he explained.
Mr. Sulaiman further noted that though Nigerians are still grappling with the effects of fuel subsidy removal, reinvestments in agriculture, health, and education are already producing results.
“What brought us here today is to talk about the midterm and the successes of this Government. In subsequent terms, Nigerians should know that this administration doesn’t just award contracts and go to sleep. There is a feedback mechanism in place. This town hall itself is one such mechanism to ensure that Government projects are not neglected. From time to time, contracts will be visited, whether it is the Numan-Jalingo road or the Gombe-Bauchi road. These projects are being observed and monitored,” he added.
All speakers at the event also called on Nigerians to support the policies of the present administration while urging citizens of the Northeast to actively participate in the ongoing INEC voter registration exercise.
“So on this note, I wish to call on all of us to please mobilize our people to come out and vote. And they cannot do that unless they register and get a voter’s card,” one of the speakers stressed.
The town hall concluded with renewed calls for unity, patriotism, and continued support for Government policies as Nigeria navigates its current challenges toward stability and growth.
