According to him, the government is united in building on the successes recorded so far, adding that the next chapter of the administration would be more transformative.

He further stated that the administration has moved beyond the initial phase of challenges, adding that major stumbling blocks on the path of reforms have been removed. “We are correcting past destructions and consolidating on gains. Mr. President has also received global recognition for the bold reforms undertaken,” he said.
Participants at the summit were urged to take the message of the administration’s achievements to the grassroots in order to deepen public understanding of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Also present at the event was the Founder and CEO of Moniepoint, Mr. Tosin Eniolorunda, whose participation underscored the private sector’s role in Nigeria’s digital and financial inclusion drive.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. George Akume, while delivering a keynote address, paid tribute to the late former President, Muhammadu Buhari, noting that although he is no more, his words and legacies continue to guide governance in Nigeria.
Akume outlined three major pillars guiding the current administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda:
Economic growth and stability
Food security and national security
Human capital development, with emphasis on education, healthcare, the digital economy, and innovation
He also appealed to the Progressive Governors’ Forum to establish a digital feedback board that would allow Nigerians to contribute ideas and solutions to governance, describing citizen engagement as critical to national development.
