Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has inaugurated Local Government Renewed Hope Coordinators across the state as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots engagement and public sensitisation on national programmes.
The inauguration ceremony took place at the 10 Degrees Events Centre, Oregun, Ikeja, where coordinators drawn from the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) were sworn in.
The governor described the Renewed Hope Ambassadors initiative as an activation platform designed to deepen public awareness of government programmes and encourage citizens’ participation in national development efforts.

“This is not a campaign rally. This is an activation of what we believe in and a commitment to informing citizens about government programmes and promises being fulfilled,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu said the coordinators were expected to take awareness campaigns to communities, wards and polling units, adding that the initiative would help bridge communication between government policies and the grassroots.
Highlighting achievements of the Federal Government, the governor noted that ongoing reforms had contributed to infrastructure development, economic stabilisation, increased foreign direct investment and improved social welfare initiatives.
He said the Federal Government had also made progress in infrastructure expansion across regions, currency stabilisation and implementation of a new minimum wage for workers.
Sanwo-Olu urged the coordinators to intensify community engagement and sensitisation efforts across the state.
