The president wished Idris many more years in good health, as well as success in his service to the nation.

The minister is a seasoned public servant, publisher, and politician who has brought finesse and immense experience to his role as Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, he said.

“Idris has been at the forefront of the media and public relations industry as the Founder, Chairman, and Publisher of Blueprint Newspapers, and as the Chairman of Bifocal Group, a public relations consultancy, and Kings Broadcasting Limited, which operates the Abuja-based WE 106.5 FM.

“His role as General Secretary of the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN) prior to his appointment as Minister accents his commitment and contributions to the media landscape in Nigeria,” he added.

Also, Tinubu congratulated the Minister of Interior, Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on the occasion of his 42nd birthday. The president commended Tunji-Ojo for the vigour and dedication he has brought to his office as Minister of Interior, noting the visible reforms in the ministry and in the institutions under the ministry.

He wished the minister renewed strength and success in his service to the nation, while urging him not to relent in his endeavours.

Tunji-Ojo, he said, holds sterling credentials as an ICT and engineering professional, and public policy expert.

The statement added that he successfully ran for public office twice to represent Akoko North East/Akoko North West Federal Constituency of Ondo State in the House of Representatives, and has remained one of the examples of the youth in government.
