The Federal Government has lodged a complaint with the Nigerian Press Council against Daily Trust Newspapers for a report alleging Nigeria’s involvement in an LGBTQ-themed agreement signed in Samoa last November. The report claimed that the agreement included clauses obliging underdeveloped and developing nations to support LGBTQ rights to access a substantial funding package and other aids from advanced societies. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, along with Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, addressed these concerns following a Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu at Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

Idris emphasized the government’s assertion that the report was misleading and demanded an apology from Daily Trust for the harm caused. He underscored the importance of accurate reporting in upholding national interests and ensuring informed public discourse. The Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to press freedom while emphasizing the responsibility of media to report truthfully and responsibly.

AGF Lateef Fagbemi echoed the sentiment, noting that the government seeks to resolve the issue through peaceful means before considering further action. He highlighted the availability of government ministries for clarifications under the Freedom of Information Act, urging journalists to verify information with relevant authorities before publication. The government’s approach aims to uphold media freedom while addressing misinformation that could disrupt public trust and national stability.

Tinubu: The Financial Wizard Set to Transform Nigeria — Gbenga Adeyinka’s Prediction

Published

on


Nigerian comedian Gbenga Adeyinka recently described President Bola Tinubu as a “financial wizard,” urging the nation to give him two more years to witness a significant transformation. Adeyinka’s confidence stems from Tinubu’s track record as the former governor of Lagos State, where he spearheaded an economic revolution that made the city a financial hub.

Tinubu’s administration has been marked by bold economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and a focus on revamping Nigeria’s financial systems. While critics remain skeptical, Adeyinka believes Tinubu’s strategic mindset and financial acumen will ultimately reshape the country’s economic landscape, driving growth and stability.

As Nigeria navigates these challenging times, the question remains: will Tinubu’s visionary leadership live up to this praise, and is two more years all it takes to see the change Adeyinka envisions? Only time will tell.
