First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON has said that a single action can impact a family and community of people, especially the vulnerable ones.
She said this while receiving the Minister of Youth Development, Dr Jamila Ibrahim on courtesy visit to her office at the State House, Abuja.
The First Lady reiterated that her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) is committed to alleviating the struggles of families especially during and post effects of crisis through empowerment programmes.
“We are looking at the vulnerable areas we can contribute and develop to, by supporting individuals, and families, which is why we went to Jos, and we thank God for the calm and development that God has brought back to the region,” she said.
The First Lady said more empowerment programmes are in the works for widows of fallen heroes and those in vulnerable communities. For youth development, Senator Oluremi Tinubu said that RHI has empowered the youth through ICT training through collaboration with NITDA.
Applauding the steadfast advocacy by the First Lady for setting the pace and advancing the interest of women in the country, the Minister of Youth Development, Dr Jamila Ibrahim, while speaking on behalf of the Nigerian youth, solicited for the support of the First Lady Office to collaborate on programmes centered around youth development and empowerment.
Dr Jamila Ibrahim said collaborative projects will benefit the youth of the country which is in line with President Bola Tinubu Administration’s commitment to enhanced youth empowerment.
She said, “The Nigerian youth constitute more than half the population and a lot of them are living below poverty lines”.
Dr Jamila Ibrahim was previously the Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Sustainable Development Goals and she is presently the youngest Minister of Youth in the country.
