Governor Buni Sets the Pace in Implementing the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme (RHWDP)
…as Yobe State enrolls prospective beneficiaries across 178 wards in 17 LGAs
While preparations are still ongoing for the national rollout of the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme (RHWDP)—a strategic partnership between the Federal and State Governments— His Excellency Mai Mala Buni, has taken decisive steps to fast-track implementation in Yobe State.
In clear demonstration of his commitment to supporting the economic reforms of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Governor directed the accelerated commencement of enrolment by providing the necessary institutional and logistical support to the State RHWDP Coordination Office. This proactive approach ensures that economically active citizens of Yobe State are enrolled through an equitable, inclusive, and transparent process, fully aligned with the President’s vision of driving grassroots economic development across Nigeria.
Governor Buni, who also serves as a member of the National Steering Committee of the RHWDP representing the North-East Governors, has further demonstrated strong political will by directing that unemployed youths, smallholder farmers, and owners of Micro and Small Enterprises be prioritised in the targeting and enrolment of beneficiaries. This directive reflects the economic realities of Yobe State and the core objectives of the RHWDP as conceived under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
In line with these directives, the Yobe State RHWDP Coordination Office, between 16th and 20th January 2026, successfully enrolled over 80,000 prospective beneficiaries across the State’s 178 wards. The data has been validated and is now ready for submission to the National RHWDP Portal.
Even as other states await the full national rollout, Governor Buni has demonstrated that there is no time to waste in empowering the people of Yobe State. As part of this commitment, he approved the training of over 1,000 youths in technology-enabled data collection and survey administration. These trained youths subsequently conducted the enrolment exercise within their respective wards—creating jobs, strengthening local ownership, and fostering trust and confidence in the programme among communities.
This bold and people-centred leadership once again positions Yobe State as a front-runner in translating national economic reforms into real, measurable benefits at the grassroots, reinforcing Governor Buni’s shared vision with President Tinubu for inclusive growth and sustainable economic empowerment
