Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, a senior chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warmly welcomed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Imo State ahead of the President’s official visit on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
In a press statement, Senator Araraume commended the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, praising it as a transformative framework that is positively reshaping Nigeria’s development.
“President Tinubu has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to national progress through his Renewed Hope Agenda,” Araraume stated, adding: “The reforms he has initiated are repositioning our country for sustainable growth and stability.”
Senator Araraume highlighted key policy achievements that are already yielding results, including:
· Economic Revitalization: The unification of exchange rates to stabilize the financial system and the implementation of new tax reforms to streamline the fiscal framework and expand the national revenue base.
· Grassroots Empowerment: The direct funding of local governments from the federation account, a landmark move for decentralized development.
· Social Investment: The launch of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to promote access to higher education, alongside strengthened social intervention programs and expanded youth initiatives.
While noting that some councils are still adapting to the new autonomy, Araraume emphasized that President Tinubu’s action, anchored on a sound legal framework, will earn him historic recognition as a leader who prioritized economic inclusion and grassroots governance.
He expressed his confidence that the visit would deepen the President’s connection with Imo’s grassroots communities while heralding a new era of developments and opportunities for the South East.
