The Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation serves as Nigeria’s primary federal agency responsible for information dissemination and promoting democratic governance within the Federal Republic. The ministry operates under Nigeria’s current democratic government, which began in May 1999 when President Olusegun Obasanjo took office after 16 years of consecutive military rule. The organization’s mandate encompasses disseminating essential and vital information to enhance and facilitate democratic governance while also promoting Nigeria’s cultural heritage and tourism potential. Operating from Abuja, the ministry manages various agencies, including the National Archives of Nigeria and the Federal Government Press, and is headed by a minister appointed by the president. President Muhammadu Buhari, who served from May 2015 to May 2023, restructured various government ministries during his administration as part of Nigeria’s evolving governmental structure.
