President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians, particularly the people of Nasarawa State, of his unwavering commitment to fulfilling the promises made under his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The President gave the assurance on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Bage Muhammad (rtd), at his palace in the Nasarawa State capital.
Tinubu, who was warmly received by traditional rulers and top government officials, pledged continuous federal support for the state, especially in key sectors such as solid minerals and agriculture — both of which are vital to Nigeria’s economic diversification goals.
“All I have decided is to ensure a change for the future and the best,” the President said, reaffirming his administration’s drive to reposition the economy for long-term benefit.
He praised Nasarawa State Governor, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, for what he described as judicious use of public resources, stating that the governor’s stewardship has earned the trust of both the federal government and private investors.
“You have demonstrated integrity, prudence, and vision in governance,” Tinubu said, adding that such leadership strengthens Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

The President also recalled his campaign visit to Nasarawa in 2023 and lauded the Emir of Lafia for his confidence and foresight.
“You are a highly far-sighted individual, a committed Nigerian of high integrity and jurisprudence,” Tinubu told the Emir, noting that the Emir’s belief that he would return to Nasarawa as President had now come to pass.
He further described Nasarawa as “peaceful, stable, and steadily progressing,” attributing the state’s development to the combined efforts of Governor Sule and the Council of Traditional Rulers.
In closing, President Tinubu reiterated that the Renewed Hope Agenda is a deliberate policy to create opportunities and prosperity for Nigerian youth and generations to come.
His visit comes amid ongoing nationwide efforts to stabilise the economy, boost infrastructure, and attract investment under his administration’s reform programme.
