Group Lauds Nigeria’s First Lady Over Commitment To Humanitarian Services, Nation Building
The President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Independent Campaign Group (PBAT ICG), a political pressure group, has hailed Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her unwavering commitment to humanitarian services, national growth, and human capital development through her landmark pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
National Convener of the prestigious Grassroots Women Connect Summit, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, who gave the commendation in a statement signed by Media and Publicity Directorate, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Independent Campaign Group (PBAT ICG), and made available to journalists in Lagos, said the First Lady has continuously demonstrated exceptional philanthropy, aligning seamlessly with the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
While addressing the delegates at the summit held in Abuja, Bamigbade noted that by marking three years of transformative impact across the country, the President’s wife’s social investment and welfare programmes have systematically uplifted thousands of vulnerable Nigerians, reinforcing her legacy as a lifelong champion for the less-privileged.
He said: ‘’There is a legacy of inclusive philanthropy, since its inception, the Renewed Hope Initiative has mobilized critical resources to bridge economic gaps and foster self-reliance.
The group highlighted several of her core philanthropic achievements sharing these milestones directly with the grassroots leaders present.
They listed the First Lady’s empowerment initiative to include: Economic Empowerment and Small Business Support, adding,’’ RHI recently partnered with the Tony Elumelu Foundation to distribute ₦50,000 economic grants to 18,500 women traders nationwide to recapitalize their businesses. In the Federal Capital Territory alone, the initiative has directly empowered over 27,000 residents.
‘’Healthcare Interventions: The First Lady has deployed over ₦2 billion for tuberculosis treatments, ₦1 billion for breast cancer advocacy, and ₦500 million for food and nutrition initiatives, making healthcare accessible to the most vulnerable citizens.
‘’Digital Literacy and Skill Acquisition: Bridging the digital divide, Her Excellency has commissioned state-of-the-art ICT Experience Centres across multiple states, including Ekiti and Yobe, equipping young Nigerians and women with the tools needed for the global tech economy.
‘’Elderly and Disability Support: Through the “Finding Joy in Old Age” Scheme, RHI has provided substantial livelihood grants and food outreach to thousands of senior citizens, military veterans, and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) nationwide.
”The PBAT ICG stands firmly behind the First Lady as she continues to utilize her platform to ensure that no woman, child, or elderly citizen is left behind in the journey toward national development. Her compassionate governance serves as an enduring pillar of support for the current administration’s economic reforms, driving real impact directly to the grassroots level.’’
