“We will not submit to noise, rascality, or disobedience to lawful court orders. We must uphold democracy, respect the judiciary whether it favours us or not, and remain faithful to the principles that hold our nation together.
There is no path to national greatness except the path of building one country, one common vision, one shared future of progress and prosperity for all Nigerians. That is what Renewed Hope is about.
They cannot scare me off. I have been through this road before and, if I must walk it again and again for our country, I will. There is no better place than Nigeria, and no one will build it for us except ourselves.
I have listened. I know the journey is not easy. But I give you my word: I will not run away from this task. I will not give up. Coordinate from the ward level, act as one family, stay focused on what we promised Nigerians, and stand firm.”
This was my message to the leadership and coordinators of my Renewed Hope Ambassadors this afternoon.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The work continues.

The Federal Government has opened applications for the second cohort of its Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Programme, aimed at equipping Nigerian youth with practical skills for employment, entrepreneurship, and national development.
The Honourable Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to human capital development, describing the programme as a strategic intervention aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The programme offers 6-month and 1-year hands-on training in accredited centres across all states and the FCT, with participants receiving a monthly stipend of ₦22,500 and nationally recognised certification upon completion.
Training will cover high-demand sectors such as ICT, construction, agriculture, automotive technology, creative media, fashion, cosmetology, tourism, catering, and leather works.
The Ministry is also collaborating with the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture and Tourism to expand opportunities in creative and cultural industries.
To ensure accountability, attendance will be monitored using biometric systems, and stipends will be tied to compliance. Applicants must provide their NIN and BVN during registration via the official portal.
The Ministry encouraged eligible Nigerians to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire market-relevant skills and promote economic productivity.
