President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma as the Renewed Hope Ambassador, a new role designed to strengthen nationwide awareness and engagement ahead of the launch of the Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme.
The appointment, announced on Tuesday through a State House statement signed by Presidential Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, takes immediate effect. Uzodimma will also serve as the Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement and Mobilisation, placing him at the centre of efforts to promote the Tinubu administration’s policies across the country.
Under the assignment, Governor Uzodimma—who chairs the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF)—will work closely with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and all APC governors, who will serve as “Ambassadors of Hope.” Their mandate is to communicate the administration’s achievements, deepen grassroots engagement and foster unity within the party structure.
“Governor Uzodimma will be responsible… for evangelising the Tinubu administration’s programme,” the statement said, stressing that his role includes ensuring “harmony, inclusiveness and strategic coordination across all levels of the party.”
The appointment comes as the federal government prepares to unveil the Ward Development Programme, a community-focused initiative expected to strengthen service delivery at the lowest administrative levels.
Background: A Push to Reinforce ‘Renewed Hope’ Agenda
Since assuming office in May 2023, President Tinubu has pursued broad economic reforms aimed at stabilising the economy, attracting investment and restoring public confidence. According to the State House, these efforts are gaining traction.
The statement noted that inflation had eased for the seventh consecutive month, reaching 16.05% in October, while the foreign exchange market had stabilised. Foreign reserves reportedly climbed to over $46 billion, up from the $32 billion—and a net reserve of just $4 billion—recorded when the administration came in.
Investor confidence, the presidency stated, is rebounding, with increases in both foreign direct and portfolio investments, particularly in the oil and gas sector. The Nigerian stock market is described as being in “an unprecedented boom,” while diversification efforts are strengthening the solid minerals sector.
The government also highlighted reforms in public services, pointing to over 700,000 students already enrolled in the new educational loan scheme and a streamlined passport issuance process that now delivers passports in less than one week.
President Tinubu charged Uzodimma with ensuring that citizens are fully informed of the administration’s milestones.

‎“Ensure that Nigerians are aware of and understand the administration’s achievements,” the President was quoted as saying in his message to the new ambassador.

‎The renewed outreach strategy is expected to intensify as the government prepares for the rollout of the Ward Development Programme—one of the flagship components of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
