The Renewed Hope Project 2027, a student organisation based in Lagos, has announced that it aims to secure more than 100,000 votes for President Bola Tinubu from tertiary institutions in the state ahead of the forthcoming elections.
The group, which brings together students from universities, polytechnics and other higher‑education institutions across Lagos, says it will mobilise its members to support Tinubu’s re‑election bid. It has set a target of over 100,000 votes from the city’s student body.
Its announcement comes as Nigeria’s general elections approach. Nigeria holds national elections every four years, and Lagos is one of the country’s most populous and politically significant states.
The Renewed Hope Project stresses the importance of youth participation in the electoral process. It plans to use canvassing, social media outreach and campus events to reach its goal of 100,000 votes.
While the group has not disclosed detailed strategies, it remains confident that the mobilisation of students will contribute to Tinubu’s campaign. The initiative reflects a broader trend of student engagement in Nigerian politics.
