- As Sunday Dare vows stronger digital engagement
By Chesa Chesa
Governor of Imo State and Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), Hope Uzodinma, has formally unveiled the official website of the group, describing it as a major step toward strengthening digital communication and public engagement for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Uzodinma said the platform – http://www.rhambassadors.org – would serve as a comprehensive hub for information on government policies, achievements, and long-term development goals.
“I will not agree less that this website is bold and robust. For me, it is like an octopus. Not only can users access information about Renewed Hope Ambassadors and government reforms, but it is also interactive, allowing engagement and immediate responses”, he said.
He noted that the platform would function as a key tool for projecting the administration’s vision, describing it as a channel to “market” the policies, achievements, and leadership of President Tinubu. The platform also allows users to make inquiries and receive responses, forming part of a broader strategy focused on storytelling and mass mobilisation, he revealed.
Uzodinma also addressed concerns about misinformation, stating that the website would provide accurate and verifiable information to counter false narratives. He urged Nigerians to rely on the platform for clarification on government activities.
“The culture of our politics has increasingly involved misinformation and blackmail, but this platform offers clarity. Where further clarification is needed, my office remains available,” he said.
The Director of New Media for RHA, Sunday Dare, described the website as a critical digital asset designed to enhance political communication in an increasingly online-driven society.
He cited research indicating that over 70 percent of people consume news and information via mobile devices, stressing the need for a strong digital presence.
“What we have now is an aggregator website—a one-stop shop that brings together what has been done, what is being done, and where the President is taking the country,” Dare said.
According to him, the platform integrates multiple digital channels, including social media platforms, and will enable state directors across Nigeria to upload data and updates, making it a dynamic, data-driven resource.
Dare also revealed plans for a Digital Communication Centre (DCC), which will complement the website by enhancing the group’s capacity to compete effectively in the evolving digital and artificial intelligence (AI) space.
The event was also attended by the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, and RHA Directors and coordinators, which included Chief Olisa Metuh – Director of Organisation; Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa- Diaspora Affairs; Senator Sani Musa – Special Duties; Dr. Nnamdi Maurice Mbaeri- Administration; Hajiya Bilikisu Mohammed Kaika; and Tunde Rahman – Media & Publicity.
