The office of the Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to Kebbi State Governor has unfolded a comprehensive media coverage and analysis package for Comrade Governor Nasir Idris’s purposeful leadership to be part of the two years anniversary celebration in May this year.
Although the administration’s moderate achievements in the implementation and execution of its policies and programmes are fairly publicised, the proposed programme will focus on different sectors with comparative analysis of their values to humanity.
The Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to the Govenor Abdullahi Idris Sadaukin Zuru unfolded the comprehensive programme while addressing working Journalists in the state as the chairman of the Triennial delegate conference of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Kebbi State Chapter.
He disclosed that a media tour of the state will involve representatives of the state based media organisations, representatives of both print and electronic media organisations with national outlook,(correspondents ) , online media practitioners and selected social media reporters.
Sadaukin Zuru further explained that the tour will capture completed projects, ongoing infrastructural development projects, particularly in agriculture, education, health care delivery, roads spread across the state, and the impact of a number economic empowerment programmes initiatedbythe government. . It would also include interviews with the benefiting communities on the impacts of the projects and programmes on their lives.
To crown it all, stakeholders from the community, academic institutions, and reputable non-govermental organisations (NGOs) will be engaged in radio and television discussions on the administration’s rate of performance within the period under review, achievements, challenges, and the way forward.
