The gigantic steps of Mallam Lanre Issa-Honilu as DG Noa
By Emma Ibedero
Abuja (basic reporter) as a growing young man, it has always been a pleasure to listen to Professor Jerry Gana’s jingles: “If you are a president, a well president; if you are a senator, senator well; if you are a carpenter, a carpenter well”, etc. It was from the Federal Ministry of Information. We had a national orientation agency led by Professor Elochukwu Amucheaz. The impact of the national orientation agency was warned throughout the country. It was the days of mamser (mass mobilization for self -sufficiency, social justice and economic recovery).
Hence, the agency took the path of many government agencies. He suffered abandonment. It has become dying. He went in a coma. In 2023, the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, fished and chose a thoroughbred professional, an expert journalist and a technocrat consumed to revive the crucial agency. It is very interesting and truly rewarding to see how Mallam lare issa-Honilu has, in a short time, revived this agency. Today, national consciousness and pride in our country are witnessing a rebirth.
Mallam Lanre Issa-Syilu, as general manager of Noa, is intentional in thought and actions. He worked assiduously to implement the necessary picture to restore pride in his nation. Consciousness was brought to admirable height. Through carefully made television and radio programs, jingle and advertising, the good works of the government are disseminated seamlessly and convincingly. They are packaged in very captivating and captivating messages that are very penetrating.
Jingle “I am a real Nigerian” is a deeply penetrating message that resounds well with our efforts for national consciousness. Citizens must learn to see the nation from a positive corner at all times. In fact, “you can’t see the light if you keep your eyes closed.” So many positive things have happened in the life of this administration, but opponents who prefer to close their eyes on these developments will deliberately refuse to see them. Their hatred for leaders blinds them to the good works made. But Mallam Lanre Issa-Honilu has persevered despite the challenges to bring the good messages home. Nigerian Injins to see our cup as a full means instead of half empty. We must continue to be proud, resilient and Nigerian managers.
The government’s activities and programs have continued to be disclosed to citizens through short but penetrating images and audio on television and radio. The excellence of the captain and the delicious children provide, in practical terms, information and availability of the student loan supported by the Federal Government through Nelphund. The “Save Energy and Water” campaign could not have come in a better time, now that energy saving is the key to development. Timely warnings on floods and other natural climate change save the life and properties of citizens.
When the new national anthem was introduced, the national orientation agency, through sustained campaigns, led it to all the corners and cracks of the country. In the press media, he led to know his knowledge and experience as an expert publisher to pilot the publication of the Explaker Journal. The expressive brought the programs and government projects at the gates of each Nigerian. This weekly publication ended the speculations associated with government programs and reasons behind them. Now you have them at hand.
DG is not a man limited by analog bureaucracy. It is in tune with the digital realities of our time. It is not surprising that he developed a chatbot Ai, clheean. This chatbot offers Nigerians the opportunity to look for information on the policies, programs and activities of the government through the assistant voice or chat on their devices.

In fact, Mallam Lanre Issa-Syilu, as General Manager of the National Orientation Agency, revived the information agency and orientation once commissioner in a megaphone of giant information. However, it is my opinion that these efforts should be encouraged. The need to establish a desk in all government departments as a Noa desk cannot be emphasized. On this day of technology, a Noa counter should be considered and encouraged with a mobile phone and laptop enabled to the Internet to receive information and forward them to a central database.
Secondly, the Mamser Army once a popular time but now dying should be established in all states and areas of the local government and assigned the duties of maintenance of the civil order, traffic control and related issues. This series of Mamser officials trained in the bottom will harmonize the random activities of the officials of the local government not trained in maintaining social order and mental health. Certainly, it will be applicant for costs, but each company is evaluated by the behavior of its people. It will also be a huge way to the occupation of our unemployed young people, especially in the areas of the local government. It does not make sense to emphasize that in today’s Nigeria, the police and the civil defense body have not respected the standard envisaged in the discharge of their duties in this regard, in particular in the management of the social order.
Thirdly, the national orientation agency should be encouraged to detect the various dying units of the advice of the local government. The equipment of these information units based on Noa with vans and external film projectors will eventually put the inability of the information on the government’s activities that reach the base so far. I still remember with nostalgia when the information agents moved from community to community, disseminating information on government activities in local languages and captivating visual elements for the information, education and entertainment of the locals in the squares of the village or in the municipalities of the community. Nobody can criticize this strategy.
Nigeria is good; Nigeria can be better if we adopt the right attitude. Nigeria can become the best if we develop a conscious love for our country. The National Orientation Agency under Mallam Lanre Issa-Honilu is working.
