Obasa enumerates Renewed Hope Innovative Attainments at 10th Constituency Stakeholder Parley Two years into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration's Renewed Hope Agenda, Nigeria, according to Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has witnessed an inspiring transformation - a rejuvenation of the economy, a renewal of the national spirit, and a reinvention of the Nigerian state. Speaking at the 10th Constituency Stakeholders Engagement held inside the Agege Local Government Area secretariat hall on Thursday, Obasa disclosed that this year’s theme, ‘Governance in Action: The Gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda,’ was carefully chosen to highlight the tangible benefits of governance, particularly in alignment with the Renewed Hope Initiative of President Tinubu. He stated, “This unique programme, which is holding across all the 40 constituencies in the state, gives us a viable opportunity to render an account of our stewardship as well as engage, interact, and strengthen our mutual relationship and solidarity, and to collectively address pressing matters affecting the growth, progress and development of our great community." According to Speaker Obasa, "Under the Renewed Hope agenda, the administration has aggressively tackled the challenges of economic stagnation and instability. Strategic economic reforms, including a re-engineering of fiscal policies and revenue-generating mechanisms, have boosted investor confidence and diversified our economy. These reforms have led to an improved credit rating and have laid a strong foundation for economic prosperity and sustainable development,” he said. Recognising that robust infrastructure is the backbone of development, Speaker Obasa disclosed that the Tinubu administration has launched transformative projects nationwide, including new road networks, upgraded ports, and state-of-the-art public facilities, which he said are not only enhancing the quality of life but also reinforcing Nigeria’s position as a hub for commerce and innovation. Further, Speaker Obasa said that because agriculture remains central to Nigeria’s quest for food security and self-sufficiency, “The Renewed Hope Agenda has driven significant investments into mechanised farming and modern agricultural practices. Improved access to financing and expanded markets have empowered our farmers, increased production, and positioned Nigeria as a potential agricultural powerhouse.” He also highlighted the Tinubu administration’s investment in human capital, especially the students' loan initiative under the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), describing it as a landmark policy that has brought renewed hope to our youths. “Campuses are now more peaceful, infrastructure is improving, and there's a measure of stability in the academic environment across the federation. Education is once again becoming the tool for empowerment and national development," he added. Thus, Obasa opined, “The Renewed Hope Agenda is not by chance; it is a deliberate blueprint for national recovery and sustainability. It is designed to lift millions out of poverty by unlocking economic opportunities for all Nigerians — young and old - men and women, in both urban and rural areas.” The Speaker drew a parallel between what is happening at the centre and in Lagos State, saying, “In consonance with the national drive for progress, Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has been a pivotal partner in the realisation of this shared vision. His tenure is characterised by innovative urban renewal projects, efficient public service delivery, and legislative collaboration for sustainable growth. “Lagos, as the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria, has seen groundbreaking infrastructural developments. Modern transport systems, sustainable housing projects, and pioneering urban planning initiatives have transformed our cityscape, making Lagos not only a city of opportunities but a beacon of modern urbanism.” He added that the proactive engagement between the Executive arm and the House of Assembly has led to the passage of progressive laws that support social welfare, environmental sustainability, and infrastructural innovation. “This strong legislative backing has been instrumental in creating an enabling environment for private investments and public-private partnerships,” Obasa added. As he reeled out a long list of federal and state government achievements, and those he singlehandedly facilitated in his Agege Constituency, Speaker Obasa was intermittently interrupted by excited constituents belting out popular and political songs, underscoring in no small measure, their appreciation for the man who had dedicated the past 24years of his life to serving them as a legislator. In his welcome address, Hon. Abdul Ganiyu Vinod Obasa, the acting executive chairman of Agege LGA, was filled with praises for President Tinubu’s steadfast commitment to restoring Nigeria to the path of economic stability and prosperity through the Renewed Hope Agenda. He promised to emulate the president in ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every member of his community. The event was attended by constituents, party leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and members of various trade associations, among others.
