New Year: NOA calls on Nigerians to support govt’s policies, programmes
The National Orientation Agency, NOA, has urged Nigerians to keep supporting the policies, programmes and other activities of the President BolaTinubu-led administration to ensure better things in 2024.
The Director-General of NOA, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, made the call in a message on New Year’s Day in Abuja on Monday.
Issa-Onilu noted that the current administration has initiated several policies, programmes and activities to ensure that Nigeria regains its pride of place among world nations.
He said the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, known as petrol, has released Nigeria’s economy from the debilitating stranglehold of a questionable subsidy regime, resulting in savings for re-investment in critical sectors.
According to him, overhauling the national security architecture with the appointment of new security chiefs resulted in the increased onslaught on the non-state actors troubling the nation.
The NOA chief said creating a Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy was a definitive step towards harnessing the great potential of Nigeria’s blue economy.
“The new initiatives in dry season farming and support to farmers will lead to the desired diversification of our economy,” he added.
