The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has approved the appointment of 16 directors to head various directorates of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, in a move aimed at strengthening operational efficiency and expanding its nationwide reach.
Uzodimma, who also serves as the Director General and National Coordinator of the initiative, announced the appointments on Friday, saying the new leadership structure is designed to advance the group’s mandate of promoting President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda across Nigeria.
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors initiative, conceptualised in November 2025 by President Bola Tinubu, is a strategic platform for communicating government policies, programmes, and achievements to citizens, particularly at the grassroots level ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Uzodimma said the restructuring was necessary to improve coordination and enhance delivery of the organisation’s objectives.
“These appointments are meant to strengthen our capacity to effectively communicate the achievements of the Renewed Hope Agenda to Nigerians at all levels,” he said.
The organisation’s leadership structure includes Uba Sani as Deputy Director General, Mohammed Inuwa Yahaya as Secretary, and James Abiodun Faleke as Deputy Secretary.
It also operates a nationwide framework comprising six zonal coordinators, 37 state coordinators, and 774 local government coordinators, reflecting its grassroots mobilisation strategy.
In a statement signed by the Director of Media and Publicity, Tunde Rahman, the organisation said the newly appointed directors will oversee 16 specialised directorates critical to its operations.
“The appointments are part of efforts to enhance coordination, improve efficiency, and deepen grassroots engagement across the country,” the statement said.
Among those appointed are Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi (Youth), Chief Olisa Metuh (Organisation and Mobilisation), Sunday Dare (Digital and New Media), Mele Kyari (Finance), and Muiz Banire (Monitoring, Compliance and Legal).
Others include Bisoye Coker-Odusote (Technology and Data), Abubakar Rabiu Abubakar (Support Groups), Ibrahim Garba (Intelligence), Senator Sani Musa (Special Duties), Hon. Simon Karu (Planning), Dr. Halima Suleiman Zakari (Welfare), and Dr. Nnamdi Maurice Mbaeri (Administration).
Also on the list are Bilikisu Muhammed Kaika (Women Affairs), Abike Dabiri-Erewa (Diaspora), and Hadiza Bala Usman (Research and Innovation).
Uzodimma said the appointments are part of a broader strategy to ensure effective communication of government programmes and stronger citizen engagement at the grassroots.
“Our goal is to ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of location, understands and feels the impact of government policies and programmes,” he added.
The organisation expressed confidence that the new leadership team will enhance coordination and strengthen nationwide mobilisation efforts ahead of upcoming political activities.
