The First Lady and Chairperson of the Renewed Hope Initiative, Oluremi Tinubu, has donated ₦1 billion and a large consignment of relief materials to the Niger State Government to assist victims of recent natural and human-induced disasters across the state.
The donation, which includes 2,000 bags of 50kg rice, 16,000 wrappers for women, clothing, and over 100 pairs of shoes, is targeted at residents affected by floods, boat accidents, banditry, and fire outbreaks in different parts of the state.
Announcing the support during a visit to the Niger State Government House in Minna, Remi Tinubu said the initiative aligns with the goals of the Renewed Hope Initiative, which aims to rebuild lives, restore dignity, and offer hope to those affected by crises.
“We understand these are difficult times for many families,” she said. “But we pray that God comforts the bereaved, heals the injured, and strengthens the displaced. As a mother, I share in your grief and pain. Together, we can bring hope and relief to these communities.”
The First Lady also expressed condolences over the recent flood disaster in Mokwa, which claimed several lives and displaced many residents, as well as the tragic boat accidents and banditry incidents across the state.
