By DANJUMA JOSEPH, Lafia –
Wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, on Thursday, has donated N50,000 each to 1,000 less-privileged women in Nasarawa State.
Mrs Tinubu, said the gesture was part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration, and in a bid to cushion the effect of the hardship experienced by the citizens.
Speaking during the symbolic presentation of the amount at the Government House Lafia on Thursday, she said the gesture was aimed at ameliorating the sufferings of women in the state.
Represented by Silifat Abdullahi-Sule, wife of the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, further explained that the beneficiaries were drawn from rural communities across the 13 Local Government Areas of the state.
“Senator Oluremi Tinubu gave us N50,000 for each of the 1,000 of you. The empowerment is particularly for women at grassroot. It aims to alleviate the sufferings of less-privileged women and to boost their economic activities at rural areas”
“The women living in the urban areas are not part of this empowerment programme. As I speak now, the gesture is simultaneously going on across the country.”
She therefore called on the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the money to better their lives in order to justify the efforts of the Wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu.
Speaking shortly after receiving her money (50,000), Hanatu Luka, from Obi LGA thanked Mrs Tinubu for the kind gesture.
She said the monies given to them (beneficiaries) would not only put smile on their faces but would henceforth boost their economic activities.
It would be recall that the Wife of the President had in the month of June distributed food items worth millions of Naira to over 1,200 Internally Displaced Persons, People Living With Disabilities and other vulnerable residents of Nasarawa State.
