Information commissioners from nine All Progressives Congress (APC) controlled states have engaged over the proposed FG-Progressive Governors Forum Media Policy and Strategy Synergy across tiers of government in advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The parley was held in Minna at the Conference of Commissioners for Information in the APC states.

It discussed the groundbreaking framework to institutionalise media alignment between the Federal Ministry of Information and the APC governed states.

The Director General, PGF, Folorunso Aliko, said the initiative sought to harmonise their communication efforts through the establishment of a joint media coordination platform and a rapid response mechanism for managing high- impact narrative.

“At its core, this framework is not merely procedural; it is transformative. It envisions a future where federal and state media ecosystems speak with coherence, creativity and strategic unity, thereby restoring public trust and projecting the APC led governance model as one of vision, discipline and inclusive progress,” Aluko said.

He stated that the plan would reflect, realign and recommit from finalising the national thematic schedule on value reorientation to institutionalising unified messaging systems and building a robust crisis communications framework.

At the occasion, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, described the Renewed Hope Agenda as a practical framework for national transformation, built on real and measurable opportunities for prosperity across all sectors of the Nigerian economy.

“The Renewed Hope Agenda goes beyond macroeconomic reforms. It is about creating concrete opportunities for prosperity across sectors – for individuals, for families, and for communities,” Idris said.

He said the Tinubu administration was delivering a broad-based plan for inclusive growth and national renewal from massive infrastructure investments to youth empowerment programmes and reforms in agriculture, energy, education, and innovation.

The minister referenced the removal of the fuel subsidy as a pivotal policy shift of the government’s reform efforts and as one of the boldest and most consequential decisions of the administration that has significantly blocked areas of leakage and waste in the economy
