The Federal Government has announced plans to embark on a nationwide media tour over alleged poor performance in the last three years.

Speaking yesterday in Abuja, the Special Adviser, Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga, said the tour, organised by Governor Hope Uzodimma-led Renewed Hope Ambassadors, aims to showcase the current administration’s developmental strides across the country amid criticisms.

Onanuga stated that Tinubu’s government has performed creditably in infrastructure and other critical sectors of the economy, blaming the rising criticisms on a lack of awareness of the government’s achievements.

According to him, only a nationwide tour of physical projects will convince Nigerians of the heavy investment made by the government to enhance citizens’ living standards.
He, however, condemned the continuous vandalism of public infrastructure such as rail tracks by unscrupulous individuals, noting that their actions disrupt socio-economic activities and inflict pain on innocent citizens.

“The tour will not only showcase the Federal Government’s projects but also those of state governments. With more funds released from the centre, states have more money for project execution,” he said.

Also speaking, Director, Media, Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Mr Tunde Rahman, noted that people’s initiatives put in place by Tinubu’s administration in the North-West will douse allegations of poor performance in the region.

“Coming under the auspices of Renewed Hope Ambassadors, we are only trying to showcase all the achievements of Tinubu’s administration to prove that a lot has been done in the past three years.

“The Renewed Hope Ambassador is not just a campaign platform, it is a deliberate, structured architecture for mass civic engagement, public enlightenment and policy communication.
 
“Its central purpose is to bridge the persistent gap between government action and citizens’ understanding, a gap that has historically undermined government’s action and citizens’ understanding, undermined trust and fuelled misinformation and weakened reform outcomes.”

The ambassadors added that since taking office, President Tinubu has embarked on bold and necessary reforms aimed at stabilising the economy, restoring confidence and laying the foundation for sustainable growth.

As the tour kicks off from Kaduna later in the week, Rahman urged the media to articulate all they see for public enlightenment. According to him, much has been done in the areas of road and rail transport across the north.
