President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed the Governor of Imo State, Mr. Hope Uzodimma, as the Renewed Hope Ambassador, with the appointment taking immediate effect.
Governor Uzodimma’s appointment precedes the national launch of the Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Tuesday.
In his role as ambassador, Governor Uzodimma will double as the Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement, and Mobilisation. Similarly, he will be responsible, in collaboration with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the governors, for promoting the programmes of the Tinubu administration.
“As Renewed Hope Ambassador, Governor Uzodimma, who also chairs the Progressive Governors Forum, will ensure harmony, inclusiveness and strategic coordination across all levels of the party. He will also be involved in mobilising and engaging people. He will work with the APC governors, who will also be Ambassadors of Hope.
“President Tinubu expects Governor Uzodimma and his colleagues to promote and disseminate the party’s achievements and milestones since 2023, thereby reinforcing the message of Renewed Hope nationwide. President Tinubu took office in May 2023 with a reform agenda that is already yielding positive outcomes for the Nigerian economy.
“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 reads in part.
“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 economy is being diversified, with solid minerals playing a pivotal role. The government’s liberal educational loan policy has enrolled over 700,000 students. Nigerians do not need to wait longer than one week to get a travel passport.”
President Tinubu urged the governor to ensure that Nigerians are well-informed about, and understand, the achievements of his administration.
