Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has inaugurated 20 Local Government Coordinators for the Renewed Hope Ambassadors Lagos, a grassroots initiative designed to strengthen community engagement and promote the policy agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu across the state.
Eko Hot News reports that the inauguration took place on February 11, 2026, as part of a nationwide programme led by the National Coordinator, Governor Hope Uzodimma. The initiative aims to enhance direct communication between government and citizens through structured community outreach and feedback mechanisms.
According to details shared by the governor, the programme is intended to build trust between government institutions and residents by ensuring that policies and reforms are properly explained at the grassroots level. Coordinators are expected to engage communities, gather feedback, and support awareness campaigns across Lagos’ 20 local government areas.
Photos accompanying the announcement showed participants dressed in green Renewed Hope attire standing on stage while holding official documents and flags symbolizing the initiative. The event also featured the presentation of a fleet of 20 white Toyota Hiace buses branded for operational mobility within the local government areas.
Officials noted that the buses would support coordinators in carrying out community engagements, outreach programmes, and policy sensitization activities across different parts of the state. The mobility support is expected to improve accessibility and enhance coordination at the grassroots level.
However, reactions on social media reflected mixed public sentiment. While supporters described the initiative as a strategic move to deepen citizen participation, some commenters raised concerns about funding priorities amid prevailing economic challenges facing Nigerians.
Observers say the responses highlight ongoing communication challenges surrounding government reforms and the need for sustained public engagement to address concerns about policy implementation and economic impact.
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors Lagos initiative is expected to continue nationwide as part of broader efforts to strengthen public awareness, encourage participation, and improve feedback channels between citizens and government authorities.
