Despites Hardship, Hunger Tinubu’s Wife Says ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ Already Bearing Fruits, Nigerians Are Enjoying
The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has stated that some of the activities under the Renewed Hope Agenda are already bearing fruit and would soon reach all communities across the country.
Mrs. Tinubu, speaking at the launch of the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) in Abuja, said the efforts will benefit all Nigerians, particularly women.
Represented by the Mandate Secretary for Women Affairs in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mrs. Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi, the First Lady noted that “the economic situation of the country is already improving”.
She added: “The Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, right now, is offloading a number of initiatives, bringing succour and providing humanitarian services to the elderly, women, communities, and the girl-child.”
Mrs. Tinubu urged women to always live as shining examples and remain united to advance their course.
The First Lady said women must see themselves as healers and play their role in healing the land.
“It is important for women to work together and we must see ourselves playing the role of healing our nation.
“Do not be distracted by the current challenges but focus on the assignment of promoting equity, equal rights and righteousness.
“Women are light and must always stand as light and shine, whether in the church or in the mosque; we must stand as women of faith,” she said.
WOWICAN National Chairperson Dr. Elizabeth Akinadewo said her administration would focus on women empowerment.
“Although the demand of the office is tasking, I am happy to take it up to improve lives of women and families.
“We will give succour to those who are oppressed, help them out of their misery, give voice to the voiceless and empower the women.
“We are out to spur women to develop necessary skills so they can be independent and sustain themselves.
“We have been giving women little token of money to work with and that will continue under my administration,” she said.
