The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, on Wednesday, October 16, 2025, conducted an inspection tour of key legacy projects in Borno State, including one of the 104 mega schools and the newly installed Electric Vehicle (EV) charging terminals in Maiduguri.
The inspection was part of the ongoing strategy meeting for Commissioners of Information from All Progressives Congress (APC)-governed states, taking place in the Borno State capital. Alhaji Idris was accompanied by Borno State Commissioner of Information, Prof. Usman Tar, and commissioners from across APC states.
The tour began with a visit to one of the mega schools named after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, constructed to provide quality education and a conducive learning environment for children affected by the over-decade-long insurgency in Borno. The minister and his delegation commended the modern facilities, including spacious classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and sporting facilities.
Following the school inspection, the team visited the newly constructed EV charging terminal, the largest in Nigeria, as part of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum’s green energy and transport modernization initiatives.
Speaking to journalists, Alhaji Idris praised Governor Zulum’s leadership and transformative projects:
“We have seen flyover bridges, a number of projects and investments that the state government have executed in education. We have been to some of the schools built by Borno State government. About 104 of them have been completed. We have seen the world-class facility in those schools,” he said.
The minister also visited federal government facilities in Maiduguri, including the Maiduguri Power Plant, the University of Maiduguri Solar Farm, and Muhammadu Buhari International Airport.
The strategy meeting is expected to conclude on Thursday, October 17, 2025, with a communiqué outlining a unified communication framework for the federal government and the information commissioners of APC states.
This statement was made known by officials at the inspection tour and strategy meeting.
