Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa has said Nigerians have witnessed inspiring transformation within two years of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
He said there was rejuvenation of the economy, renewal of the national spirit and reinvention of the Nigerian state.
Speaking yesterday at the 10th Constituency Stakeholders Engagement held at Agege Local Government Secretariat Hall, Obasa said this year’s theme, ‘Governance in Action: The Gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda’, was chosen to highlight the benefits of governance, particularly in alignment with the Renewed Hope Initiative of President Tinubu.
He said: “This unique programme, which is holding across the 40 constituencies in the state, gives us a viable opportunity to render an account of our stewardship as well as engage, interact and strengthen our mutual relationship and solidarity, and to collectively address pressing matters affecting the growth, progress and development of our great community.”

He added: “Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, the administration has tackled the challenges of economic stagnation and instability. Strategic economic reforms, including a re-engineering of fiscal policies and revenue-generating mechanisms, have boosted investors’ confidence and diversified our economy. These reforms have led to an improved credit rating and have laid a strong foundation for economic prosperity and sustainable development.”
Recognising that robust infrastructure was the backbone of development, Obasa said the Tinubu administration had launched transformative projects nationwide, including new road networks, upgraded ports, and state-of-the-art public facilities, which, he noted, were not only enhancing the quality of life, but also reinforcing Nigeria’s position as a hub for commerce and innovation.
He said agriculture remained central to Nigeria’s quest for food security and self-sufficiency, adding: “The Renewed Hope Agenda has driven significant investments into mechanised farming and modern agricultural practices. Improved access to financing and expanded markets have empowered our farmers, increased production, and positioned Nigeria as a potential agricultural powerhouse.”
He highlighted the Tinubu administration’s investment in human capital, especially the students’ loan initiative under the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), describing it as a landmark policy that had brought renewed hope to youths.
“Campuses are now more peaceful, infrastructure is improving, and there’s a measure of stability in the academic environment across the federation. Education is once again becoming the tool for empowerment and national development,” he said.
