Tinubu: Nigeria Will Come Out Of Religious Intolerance Allegations Bold, Stronger
Tinubu: Nigeria Will Come Out Of Religious Intolerance Allegations Bold, Stronger
* Says the inconsistent narrative is being handled with utmost seriousness
Deji Elumoye in Abuja
President Bola Tinubu has expressed confidence that the Nigerian nation will emerge stronger amid religious intolerance allegation by President Donald Trump of the United States.
He assured Nigerians that the inconsistent narrative is being handled with utmost seriousness and depth.
Information and National Orientation Minister, Mohammed Idris, who made this known to newsmen at the State House, Abuja on Tuesday after a routine meeting with the president, assured Nigerians that President Tinubu remains calm deploying multi-pronged approach to addressing concerns raised by Washington while meticulously reviewing all dimensions of the issue.
According to the minister, the Nigerian Government is giving preference to constructive engagement over inflammatory rhetoric.
He noted that: “Coordinated efforts are underway across relevant government agencies, while new channels of communication have been opened with international organisations to deepen understanding of Nigeria’s ongoing reforms and future strategies.”
Idris further said: “The initiative is designed to address both domestic and international concerns through transparency, sustained dialogue and demonstrable commitment to tolerance, security and national cohesion.
“Of course, the issue of the U.S threats also came up and we discussed that extensively with Mr President and Mr President is calm. He is looking at the whole situations and he is looking for ways and means of ensuring that the International community understands what Nigeria has been doing.
“Only two weeks ago, Mr President in his own desire to rekindle the security architecture of the country reinvigorated the hierarchy of the Armed forces. A new Chief of Defence Staff and other service chiefs were appointed. These were all the issues that came out before the US concerns. So, that tells you that Mr President has been working assiduously to ensure that Nigeria is a country that remains safer for all Nigerians to live in.
“We are looking at all the issues and we don’t want to overheat discussions but work is ongoing and we have also opened channels of communication for international organisations to understand what Nigeria has been doing better and what we intend to further do to ensure that whatever concerns that there are either domestically here or from the International communities are being answered.”
The minister stressed that President Tinubu has continued to engage religious leaders across the country in sustained dialogue aimed at strengthening unity and understanding among Nigerians of all faiths.
His words: “it is a multiple approach, discussions with the leadership of religious groups is an ongoing efforts. Mr. President has been meeting with them and he will continue to do so. They are all Nigerians and he is leading them; they are of course important stakeholders in the Nigerian project.”
Idris reaffirmed that the president will continue to engage actively with the international community not only the United States, but also regional and continental bodies to strengthen cooperation in addressing security challenges and correcting misconceptions about Nigeria.
He said government remains determined to eliminate criminal elements whose actions have contributed to misleading global narratives about the country.
“Yes, Mr. President will continue to engage with the international community not just U.S; everyone the regional bodies. The continental bodies and everyone that we think has a role to play in ensuring that Nigeria succeeds in ridding this country of this criminal element that are helping the world to drive this narrative to give Nigeria a very bad name and we know that this is not who we are as a country. So for us to be characterised as a country that is not tolerant when it comes to religion is not accurate, this is absolutely false,” he said.
The minister called on Nigerians to look beyond divisive rhetoric and unite against extremists seeking to sow discord, warning that those driving false religious narratives are attempting to undermine the country’s peace and cohesion.
Idris explained that Nigeria’s diversity remains a source of strength rather than division.
According to him, “Nigeria has Muslims and Christians and even those who even do not believe in any of these religions. And our constitution guarantees everyone should practise their faith without hindrance and Mr. President is going to respect that to the letter.
“Again, we have this security challenges but no where has there been any decision to favour one religion or the other or to inflict violence over one religion.
“What has happened is that we have these extremists that are driving this narrative and their desired outcome is to see that this country is divided and we want to caution Nigerians to look deeper. This is a time for us to reflect on our nationhood; to reflect on our unity; this is not the time for division. This is not the time for rhetoric, it is not the time for nation building. It is the time for calling for everyone to come together so that we can continue to have a Nigeria of our dream.
“Mr President is calm, he’s taking this of course very seriously and all those that should look at this issue are looking at them with all the responsibilities and the depth that it requires so that at the end of the day, we will come out of this. We believe that we will come out of this very strongly.”

Don’t be coerced into changing your program by institutions -JAMB warns candidates
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has warned the public, particularly admission seekers against falling for institutional change of programmes.
The Spokesman for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, issued this warning in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
The Board said the unethical practice is designed to create room for the institutions’ preferred candidates to move up in the admission ranking order, stressing that it is a clear manipulation of the merit-based process established to ensure transparency and fairness.
It also stated that admission processes in Nigeria are conducted exclusively through the Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS, the platform created to ensure accountability, transparency, and equal opportunity in admission placements.
It warned that any change of programme or admission activity carried out outside the JAMB CAPS is unauthorized, unethical, and ultimately detrimental to the affected candidates.
The tertiary institution examination body further cautioned that any change of programme eventually effected on CAPS after a candidate has been influenced or persuaded by an institution through its own portal will be deemed voluntary on the part of the candidate.
“For institutions to engage in such backdoor maneuvers clearly indicates an intent to deceive and shortchange candidates, and such acts will not be condoned by the Board.
“Consequently, candidates are strongly advised to disregard any invitation or request to change programmes made through institutional portals or unofficial channels.
“Preliminary investigations have revealed that a university in the South-West and another in Abuja have been involved in this practice. The Board has initiated appropriate regulatory steps to address these unethical acts and to ensure that candidates’ interests are fully protected.
“Candidates are therefore urged to remain vigilant and conduct all admission-related activities strictly through the JAMB CAPS portal. The Board reaffirms its unwavering commitment to ensuring that all qualified candidates are treated with fairness, equity, and transparency in the 2025 admission exercise and beyond,” the statement said.
