The Federal Government has re-launched the National Information Portal with the link, www.nigeria.gov.ng as the official digital gateway to comprehensive information about Nigeria and Nigerians.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, re-launched the portal on the sidelines of the Ministerial Sectoral Briefings, to mark the first anniversary of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration, on Thursday in Abuja.
According to Idris, it serves as a centralised source for both local and international audiences.
He added that it would provide reliable and up-to-date information on various aspects of Nigeria, including the government, her people, their cultural heritage and many more.

“We use this opportunity to re-launch the Nigerian National Information Portal. It was in existence before but it was badly managed that the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation has resuscitated this new portal.
“It is a gateway to all the information you require to know about this government; about Nigeria, people, and our cultures.
“So, join me in clapping for Nigeria for having this re-launched new National Information Portal,”Idris said.
In general terms, a portal can be seen as “a door, gate or entrance” (Macquarie Library, 1981), and in its simplest form the word just means a gateway; however, it is often a gateway to somewhere other than just to the next room or street. The Oxford Reference Dictionary defines a portal as “a doorway or gate etc, especially a large and elaborate one” (Pearsall & Trumble, 1996).
