President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as the Renewed Hope Ambassador, a strategic role created ahead of the national launch of the Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme.

According to a State House statement issued on Tuesday, Uzodimma will also serve as Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement and Mobilisation, working closely with the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership and governors to promote the administration’s policies and achievements.

The President said the appointment, which takes immediate effect, places Uzodimma at the centre of nationwide engagement efforts designed to strengthen harmony, inclusiveness, and coordination within the ruling party. As chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, he is expected to mobilise support and deepen public understanding of the government’s programmes.

Uzodimma will collaborate with APC governors—who will also serve as “Ambassadors of Hope”—to amplify the administration’s successes since 2023, especially in economic reform and public service delivery.

President Tinubu highlighted indicators of progress under his leadership, including seven consecutive months of easing inflation to 16.05 per cent in October, a stabilised exchange rate, and the rise of foreign reserves to over $46 billion—up from the $32 billion and net $4 billion inherited in 2023. He also noted renewed investor confidence, increased foreign and portfolio inflows, growth in the oil and gas and solid minerals sectors, a booming stock market, and the enrollment of over 700,000 students through the federal student loan initiative. Passport processing times have also been reduced to under one week.

Tinubu urged Uzodimma to ensure that Nigerians are fully informed about these milestones as the administration advances its Renewed Hope agenda.

The statement was signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
