A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, has welcomed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Imo State.
In a press statement, Senator Araraume commended the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, describing it as a transformative framework that will positively reshape Nigeria’s development.
“President Tinubu has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to national progress through his Renewed Hope Agenda,” Araraume stated.
“The reforms he has initiated are repositioning our country for sustainable growth and stability.”
Araraume highlighted key policy achievements by the administration, such as economic revitalisation—the unification of exchange rates to stabilise the financial system and the implementation of new tax reforms to streamline the fiscal framework and expand the national revenue base.
Grassroots empowerment – the direct funding of local governments from the federation account, a landmark move for decentralised development.
Social investment – The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) launch to promote access to higher education alongside strengthened social intervention programmes and expanded youth initiatives.
While noting that some councils are still adapting to the new autonomy, Araraume emphasised that President Tinubu’s action, anchored on a sound legal framework, will earn him historic recognition as a leader who prioritised economic inclusion and grassroots governance.
He expressed his confidence that the visit would deepen the President’s connection with Imo’s grassroots communities while heralding a new era of developments and opportunities for the South East region.
