He said, “As a minister of Information and National Orientation, I have the duty of telling Nigerians the true picture of what transpired about the various programmes and projects of the administration in all sectors.
“Being truthful and effective as minister of Information is essential to engender the trust of the people on various programmes and projects of the administration.”
