President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme (RHWDP) is set to launch, targeting over 8.8 million entrepreneurs across Nigeria’s 8,809 electoral wards. The initiative, aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda and the $1 trillion economy vision by 2030, will decentralise development by directly empowering 1,000–2,000 active persons per ward.
A National Steering Committee, in collaboration with Federal, State, and Local Governments, will oversee its execution. The programme is designed to stimulate local economies, reduce poverty, create jobs, boost food security, and raise living standards in rural communities ultimately driving double-digit growth and promoting self-reliance nationwide.
KAKAKIOODUA recalls that IJESA DEVELOPMENT FUND (IDF) which is being midwifed by the Ijesa Community Development Assembly ICDA under the leadership of Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi, underscores a strategic all-inclusive participation of all Ijesa sons and daughters above 21 years of age in ward-based development strategy that focuses on socioeconomic transformation at the community and grassroot levels across the length and breadth of Ijesaland covering six local governments in Osun State of Nigeria.
The implementation stage that involves the participation of LGA Traditional Rulers Council, has already reached the stage of constituting structures such as; ward executives in all the local government areas of Ijesaland; ICDA/LGA Coordinating Committee for implementation; Central Committee of Grassroots Managers (CCGMs) and Ward Grassroots Managers (WGMs) for community-level execution; Community Development Committees (CDCs) across the respective Local Government Areas for awareness and monitoring purposes.
Based on this development, Ijesaland is set to hit the ground running and be a national pacesetter as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's new ward-based development approach aimed at accelerating grassroots development and lifting millions of Nigerians out of poverty is set to be launched.
Kudos to Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi's clairvoyance!
The initiative, known as the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme (RHWDP), that was adopted at the 150th meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC), held at the State House in Abuja targets Nigeria’s 8,809 administrative wards across the 36 states and is designed to serve as a direct intervention mechanism for poverty alleviation, food security, rural electrification, infrastructure improvement, and economic stimulation.
It is a key plank of Mr Tinubu’s broader Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
In his remarks at the meeting, President Tinubu said:
“I want to appeal to you; let us change the story of our people in the rural areas. The economy is working. We are on the path of recovery, but we need to stimulate growth in the rural areas, let us collaborate and do what will benefit the people."
