President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, as the Renewed Hope Ambassador ahead of the nationwide rollout of the Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy. Uzodimma will also serve as the Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement and Mobilisation. His appointment takes immediate effect.
Uzodimma, who is the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, is expected to work closely with the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership and governors across the federation to publicise the achievements of the Tinubu administration.
He has been tasked with promoting unity, inclusiveness and effective coordination within the party, while driving grassroots mobilisation nationwide.
President Tinubu noted that APC governors will likewise serve as “Ambassadors of Hope,” collaborating with Uzodimma to relay the administration’s accomplishments since May 2023.
Highlighting key policy gains, the President cited seven consecutive months of declining inflation—now at 16.05 per cent as of October—exchange rate stabilisation, and a surge in foreign reserves to over $46 billion, up from the $32 billion and a net reserve of $4 billion inherited in 2023.
Tinubu added that investor confidence has been restored, with increasing foreign direct and portfolio investments—especially in the oil and gas sector—as well as a buoyant stock market and growing diversification in solid minerals.
He directed Uzodimma to ensure Nigerians at all levels are adequately informed about these developments under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
