Tinubu’s Achievements and Why Nigerians Must Have Faith in His Renewed Hope Agenda

By Olalekan Olotu Oba

In 2023, the 8 million Nigerians trooped out to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; none of us was aware of the debris of challenges awaiting him in office. By May 29th, 2023, Asiwaju no doubt woke up to the reality of a woeful economy that was struggling with multiple structural issues,  from high inflation,  weak Infrastructure,  high level of insecurity, and the fraudulent subsidies that drain public funds without getting to those that really need it, the Nigerian masses.

 The campaign slogan for Asiwaju was branded a “RENEWED HOPE AGENDA,” the agenda which promised bold reforms to reset Nigeria’s economic trajectory and deliver tangible improvements in citizens’ lives.

 To be honest,  the Renewed Hope Agenda is a comprehensive governance blueprint designed to tackle the country’s deepest social and economic challenges and catalyse long-term transformation across key sectors-economics, Infrastructure,  education,  health, security, youth, and Sports development and governance.

 Over two years into his administration, Nigeria has begun to see these reforms translate into measurable outcomes, policy milestones, institutional restructuring, and grassroots projects that are reshaping public discourse and national development priorities.

 The Grassroot is enjoying the dividends of the Renewed Hope Agenda through the ward development programme and the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates initiative, which aim to decentralise development and bring real change to local communities.
 
 The Supreme Court’s judgment on local government autonomy is also one of the achievements of this administration in returning governance to the Grassroots through local government, which the successful administration has bastardized.

 In the area of economic development,  the Tinubu administration is doing well in Nigeria’s renewed economic growth trajectory after years of stagnation. The country has recorded consistent GDP growth over the past few years.

 Yes, the reforms have been biting, but the results are precise to see: in the last few months, both Dangote Refinery and NNPC have consistently reduced the pump price of petroleum, which has also reduced food prices in our major markets.

 Nigerians are now being honoured across the globe for the significant improvement in the quality of our international passports. The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has, without doubt, changed the global community’s impression of our nation, Nigeria, by working with relevant agencies and international organisations to produce a more professional and secure Passport for the country. Our correctional services are producing graduates, the NSCDC is receiving daily training, and the fire service is saving lives and properties, all under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Renewed Hope Agenda has brought significant development across every area of governance, including Infrastructure, foreign investment, Youth development, and so on. An individual and a strong supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I urge Nigerians to continue supporting this administration for a better, more secure future for the generation yet unborn.
