Ododo Says Nigerians Are Benefiting From Tinubu’s Reforms

Ododo also pointed to the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, and the administration’s push for food security and revitalisation of manufacturing as clear evidence of a strategic, long-term transformation agenda.

Ododo said, “Today marks two years of visionary leadership under our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Your Renewed Hope Agenda has brought bold reforms, national recalibration, and a new sense of purpose across critical sectors of our economy and governance.”

He described the President’s second year as a season of harvest, emphasising that Nigeria is beginning to experience tangible benefits of the far-reaching economic reforms initiated during the first year of the administration.

“Key policy decisions such as the removal of the fuel subsidy, unification of the foreign exchange system, and reforms in the tax and financial sectors were credited for stabilising the economy and restoring investor confidence in Nigeria.

“President Tinubu’s second year in office has been about deepening reforms, managing the effects of bold policy initiatives, and translating difficult decisions into real economic gains.

“We are beginning to see signs of macroeconomic stability, increased non-oil revenue, and renewed private sector interest in key sectors such as gas, agriculture, transportation and technology,” he added.

Governor Ododo also highlighted key initiatives under President Tinubu’s administration, including the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, and efforts to promote food security and revitalize the manufacturing sector. He described these as clear signs of a strategic and long-term transformation agenda.

“We in Kogi State align fully with this national direction, building infrastructure, expanding access to healthcare and education, and creating opportunities for our people.

“The spirit of Renewed Hope is alive in our communities and in the hearts of our citizens,” Ododo said.

He reiterated Kogi State’s dedication to backing the Federal Government’s agenda by aligning state policies to attract investments, empower young people, and ensure that national reforms reach grassroots communities.

Supporting the clean energy transition, Governor Ododo emphasized Kogi’s active role in the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) revolution, highlighting ongoing youth training programs in conversion technology. This initiative, he noted, fosters cleaner energy alternatives, decreases reliance on fossil fuels, and creates sustainable employment opportunities.

He also announced the planned launch of intra-city bus services in the state capital to ease urban transportation as a part of the dividends of the renewed hope agenda.

“On behalf of the government and the good people of Kogi State, I congratulate Mr. President and all Nigerians on this important milestone. Together, we will continue to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous nation.

“As the president marks this second anniversary in office, we celebrate your resilience, foresight, and unwavering commitment to building a Nigeria that works for all. The journey may be challenging, but your courage and dedication continue to inspire hope and confidence across the nation,” he restated.
