Governor Hope Uzodimma has described the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as one focused on repairing the nation’s economic foundations and driving sustainable recovery across key sectors.
Uzodimma made the remarks during a high-level engagement with members of the diplomatic community in Nigeria, organised by the Progressive Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the Renewed Hope Ambassadors.
The session, themed “Deepening Partnership for Democratic Stability, Investment, Development Cooperation and Inclusive Prosperity under the Renewed Hope Agenda,” focused on Nigeria’s reform agenda and investment opportunities.
Speaking at the event, the Imo State governor said the Federal Government’s ongoing reforms were largely driven by two major policy decisions, the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira.
According to him, although the measures were politically difficult, the Tinubu administration prioritised long-term national interest over short-term political gains.
Uzodimma stated that the removal of the fuel subsidy helped dismantle what he described as a corruption-ridden regime, while current economic indicators point to signs of recovery and stability.
He noted that increased infrastructure funding, tax reforms aimed at protecting low-income earners, renewed economic activities, and broader institutional reforms demonstrate that the Renewed Hope Agenda is a structured policy framework rather than a campaign slogan.
The governor also emphasised the importance of strengthening partnerships with the international community to support democratic stability, economic growth, and inclusive development in Nigeria.
