President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has named Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, the Renewed Hope Ambassador ahead of the nationwide launch of the Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme.

According to a statement released on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Governor Uzodimma will additionally serve as the Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement, and Mobilisation.

The appointment is effective immediately.

The governor, who also chairs the Progressive Governors Forum, will collaborate with the All Progressives Congress, APC, leadership and state governors nationwide to promote the Tinubu administration’s programmes and achievements.

He is tasked with fostering harmony, inclusiveness, and strategic coordination within party structures, while actively mobilising support at the grassroots level.

President Tinubu said the APC governors will equally serve as “Ambassadors of Hope,” working collectively with Uzodimma to promote and disseminate the administration’s milestones since taking office in May 2023.

The President highlighted several policy gains recorded under his Renewed Hope Agenda, including seven consecutive months of eased inflation to 16.05 per cent in October, stabilisation of the exchange rate, and a significant rise in foreign reserves to over $46 billion, up from $32 billion and a net reserve of $4 billion inherited in 2023.

He claimed that investor confidence has rebounded, with rising foreign direct and portfolio investments, particularly in the oil and gas sector, alongside a booming stock market and growing economic diversification driven by solid minerals.

President Tinubu tasked Governor Uzodimma with ensuring that Nigerians across all communities are informed about these achievements and fully understand the administration’s progress under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
