Step-by-Step Guide To Apply for Renewed Hope Ward Development Program 2026

Hello, fellow Nigerians! For those of you looking for federal government initiatives that bring real change to the grassroots, you are on the right page. The Renewed Hope Ward Development Program (RHWDP), launched under President Bola Tinubu's agenda, aims to deliver direct financial support and development opportunities across all 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs).

What is the Renewed Hope Ward Development Program?

This federal initiative focuses on ward-based development, targeting the smallest administrative units in Nigeria. The goal is to support economically active individuals with grants or resources to boost local economies. As seen in states like Kwara—targeting 193,000 beneficiaries—this program is a non-partisan push to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030 through grassroots inclusion.
