President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to distribute rice across the country to support citizens observing Ramadan and the Lenten season.
The announcement was made by Governor Hope Uzodinma, of Imo State, who serves as the Director-General of the campaign group. According to him, the distribution will be coordinated through the group’s nationwide grassroots network, to ensure families in every state benefit during this sacred period of fasting and reflection.
“This initiative reflects President Tinubu’s commitment to unity and compassion. Ramadan and Lent are seasons that remind us of sacrifice, charity, and care for one another. Through this distribution, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors will ensure that families across Nigeria feel the spirit of togetherness during this sacred period”, Gov. Uzodinma said.
The programme is expected to reach both Muslim and Christian communities, highlighting the President’s commitment to inclusivity and national solidarity. This initiative follows a similar rice distribution during the previous Christmas season, demonstrating the administration’s consistent effort to support citizens during major religious and cultural occasions.
According to reports, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors will utilise their state, local government and ward structures, to ensure broad coverage and transparency in the distribution.
While the statement did not provide details on the quantity of rice to be distributed or its sourcing, political observers note that such programmes often coincide with campaign-related activities, given the group’s alignment with President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election efforts.
