Yesterday, I was honoured to join the Director-General of Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, H.E. Governor @Hope_Uzodimma1, alongside the Deputy Director-General, H.E. Governor Uba Sani, the Secretary of RHA, H.E. Governor Inuwa Yahaya, Deputy Secretary Hon. James Faleke, Directors, Zonal Coordinators, and other RHA leaders at Transcorp Hilton Abuja. During the meeting, I presented my vision as Director of the Youth Directorate, emphasizing the critical role of young Nigerians in strengthening grassroots engagement and building an inclusive mobilisation structure ahead of 2027. I highlighted the importance of creating opportunities for youth participation, leadership development, and meaningful engagement across communities and campuses nationwide. I also spoke on key initiatives of the Youth Directorate, including the Renewed Hope Youth Festival, campus outreach programmes, and other youth-focused engagements aimed at empowering young Nigerians and deepening support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, while ensuring that the impact of his administration’s policies and programmes is felt at the grassroots. #RHYF2026 #RenewedHopeAgenda #RenewedHopeYouthFestival2026

Building on the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Police Trust Fund, we met with Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, and Mohammed Sheidu, Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund yesterday, to explore opportunities for police stations to serve as Points of Presence on the Project BRIDGE network across the country, as well as ways to leverage connectivity as a tool for modernising operations, improving service delivery, and accelerating the digital transformation of the Nigeria Police Force. We also witnessed a live demonstration of Awarri’s AI-powered, voice-enabled local language statement capture and case management solution, an innovative platform designed to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of investigative processes. I am encouraged that deployment will commence in Abuja and Lagos in the coming weeks before scaling more broadly across the country. As we continue to build the digital infrastructure that powers Nigeria’s future, it is equally important that our public institutions are equipped to adopt and harness these technologies to deliver better outcomes for citizens. #NigerianExcellence
