President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, as the Renewed Hope Ambassador ahead of the national launch of the Federal Government’s ward development programme.
The appointment was announced in a State House press statement issued on Tuesday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, Governor Uzodimma will also serve as the Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement and Mobilisation. The President said the appointment takes immediate effect.
“With the appointment, which takes immediate effect, Governor Uzodimma will be responsible, in collaboration with the All Progressives Congress leadership and the governors, for evangelising the Tinubu administration’s programme,” the statement read.
As the Renewed Hope Ambassador, the Imo State governor, who chairs the Progressive Governors Forum, will “ensure harmony, inclusiveness and strategic coordination across all levels of the party.” He will also play a central role in mobilising and engaging citizens nationwide.
The statement added that Governor Uzodimma will work closely with other APC governors, who “will also be Ambassadors of Hope.”
President Tinubu was quoted as urging Uzodimma and his colleagues to “promote and disseminate the party’s achievements and milestones since 2023, thereby reinforcing the message of Renewed Hope nationwide.”
The presidency listed several areas where it stated that the administration has made progress since May 2023, including inflation, foreign reserves, the exchange rate, investments, and public services.
“Inflation, once a nightmare, eased for the seventh month in a row to 16.05 per cent in October. The exchange rate has stabilised. Foreign Exchange reserves reached over $46 billion this month, up from $32 billion and a net reserve of $4 billion inherited in 2023,” the statement noted.
Investor confidence, it said, has strengthened. According to the statement, “Investor confidence in the Nigerian economy is back, with both FDI and Portfolio investments on the increase, with the oil and gas sector a significant beneficiary. The stock market is enjoying an unprecedented boom.”
The statement added that the economy is being diversified, citing growth in solid minerals, while the government’s new student loan scheme has “enrolled over 700,000 students.” It also said passport processing timelines have improved, noting that “Nigerians do not need to wait longer than one week to get a travel passport.”
In his message to Governor Uzodimma, President Tinubu directed him to ensure that Nigerians “are aware of and understand the administration’s achievements.”
