Remi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria has donated N1 billion to families displaced by the attacks which took place in Benue State.
The First Lady made the donation to the internally displaced persons in Benue through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
Recall that hundreds of families were affected and many displaced following attacks by some suspected herdsmen in communities across Benue.
Tinubu who was in the state on a condolence visit to the affected families said the donation is in alignment with the mission of the RHI to ensure stability in families across the country.
She also said that the donation is aimed at helping the families return to their livelihoods and build better lives for their households.
Her words, “On behalf of the governing council of the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI will be making a donation of ₦1 billion to help displaced families get back on their feet, return to earning a living, and have a better life.
“This is in line with the objectives of the Renewed Hope Initiative as captured in our motto: Towards a Better Life for Families,” Tinubu said.
Further stating that all hope is not lost, the First Lady expressed her sadness over the killing of innocent citizens by the attackers.
She said, “As a mother, I urge all of us to learn to accept these times as very challenging times. Our job is to play a complementary and supportive role. It is heart-wrenching to believe that people want to live in peace then destruction will come suddenly.”
