Appointment: Limateef Thanks Seyi Tinubu, Shoga, Says Niger Youths Solidly Behind Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda
The newly appointed Director of the Niger State Chapter of the City Boy Movement, Ambassador Ahmad Abubakar, popularly known as Oga Limateef, has expressed appreciation to the leadership of the movement over his appointment, assuring that youths in Niger State remain firmly aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
Limateef, a leading youth advocate and Founder/Chief Executive Officer of Limateef Group, described the appointment as a call to service and a clear reflection of the growing confidence in the role of young people in national development.
He specifically thanked Mr. Seyi Tinubu for what he described as consistent leadership, vision, and mentorship, noting that his example continues to motivate young Nigerians to embrace purposeful engagement, unity, and civic responsibility.
The Niger State Director also expressed appreciation to the Director-General of the City Boy Movement, Hon. Francis Shoga, for finding him worthy of the responsibility and entrusting him with the task of mobilising and coordinating youths across the state in support of the Federal Government’s development agenda.
According to Limateef, youths in Niger State remain fully supportive of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, citing visible interventions and sustained engagements with the state as key drivers of trust and confidence.
He referenced major milestones such as President Tinubu’s visit to Niger State for the inauguration of the Food Security and Agricultural Mechanisation Programme, the commissioning of modern farming equipment under Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, and the remodelling and commissioning of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna.
He also noted the administration’s swift interventions during periods of emergency as further evidence of the President’s commitment to the welfare of the people of Niger State.
Limateef also acknowledged the humanitarian intervention of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who donated N1 billion through the Renewed Hope Initiative to victims of the flood disaster in Mokwa Local Government Area. He described the gesture as a demonstration of empathy and responsive leadership, adding that her visit to elder statesmen, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), whom she referred to as “fathers of the nation,” underscored her respect for leadership and national unity.
He further commended the youth-focused engagements of Seyi Tinubu in Niger State through the Renewed Hope Youth Engagement Initiative (RHYE), particularly his outreach to young people during his Ramadan visit to Minna, noting that such engagements have strengthened youth participation, trust, and inclusion in governance.
Limateef said these engagements clearly demonstrate that the First Family holds Niger State in high regard, assuring that the people and youths of the state will continue to give their support and goodwill to the Tinubu administration.
Reaffirming his commitment, he assured that the City Boy Movement in Niger State will continue to mobilise, sensitise, and engage young people through constructive dialogue, unity, and development-oriented initiatives in line with the Renewed Hope vision.
“This appointment is an opportunity to serve. Niger youths are fully on board with the Renewed Hope Agenda, and we remain committed to contributing positively to its success through unity, inclusion, and active civic engagement,” he said.
