Today, the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Communication welcomed members of the press to the 2025 Ministerial Press Briefing, held at the Information Centre, Ground Floor, JD Gomwalk Secretariat, Jos.
Delivering her address, the Commissioner expressed delight at the gathering, which has become a key feature of the state’s governance and communication strategy since its resumption last year under the Time is Now Administration led by the Executive Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang.
“This briefing serves as a critical bridge between government and the people,” she remarked, highlighting the administration’s commitment to transparency, public accountability, and open governance.
She noted that this briefings are with the direct approval of Governor Mutfwang, underscoring the administration’s belief that an informed citizenry is the bedrock of democratic progress.
The Commissioner further stated that no government working against the interests of its people would willingly open itself up to scrutiny. However, she affirmed that the Mutfwang-led administration is not only willing but eager to be held accountable.
She went on to highlight some of the key areas where the Ministry of Information and Communication, alongside other ministries and agencies, has made significant strides, including:
– Infrastructure development: Road construction and rehabilitation across the state
– Transport sector reform: Modernisation and reorganisation aimed at improving mobility
– Healthcare upgrades: Expansion and equipping of health facilities
– Agricultural transformation: Introduction of modern farming techniques and support systems
– Social welfare enhancement: Strengthening safety nets for vulnerable groups
Despite ongoing challenges, particularly the unprovoked attacks in some communities, the Commissioner assured citizens that the government remains steadfast in its dual mandate: delivering essential services and ensuring peace and security.
“As we deploy resources for physical development, we are also investing heavily in creating a secure environment for all our people,” she further stated

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.
Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.
The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.
Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.
Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.
Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.
Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.
The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.
For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.
The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.
With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
