Vice President Kashim Shettima has said the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 's administration is a transformative policy thrust aimed at repositioning Nigeria as a prime global investment destination.

“Our reason for this gathering is less about the certainty of our vision for this nation. This has never been in doubt. We are here because of our place in a world of opportunities—a world that can’t afford to neglect or underestimate our place. “This is further evidenced by the recently announced $10 billion Diaspora Fund—a multi-sectoral investment initiative set to be launched soon and expected to strengthen ties with our diaspora community while boosting forex inflows to support our national development plans,” the Vice President said.
Earlier at the high-level dialogue, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, urged citizens to gear up for a better Nigeria as programs enunciated by the administration to impact citizens begin to materialise.Joined by other ministers and foreign partners during the dialogue, Idris said “a lot of the work that was put in during the last 12 months is just now crystallising into reality.
“I am indeed very optimistic about what this second year that we are going into will bring, and I invite you all to share in this enthusiasm,” he said. In his goodwill message, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery, expressed the United Kingdom’s satisfaction with the security strategies put in place by President Tinubu, even as he restated the support of the UK for the Nigerian government in this direction, including transparency and accountability in governance.
On his part, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, said the past one year marking President Tinubu’s one year in office had been successful despite being challenging, assuring that the Tinubu-led government is an administration that will renew the hope of Nigerians. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s foreign policy will continue to accommodate the interests of all Nigerians and ensure mutual and beneficial partnerships with all nations,” Oyewole said.
