Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON has met with the wives of the 36 State Governors to formally introduce and acquaint them with the objectives and the mission of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
The meeting was held in her office on Friday, 14 July, 2023.
The First Lady congratulated the wives of the governors on the successful conduct of the 2023 elections which brought their husbands to office and reminded them that it is time to keep promises made during the elections.
She pointed out that she will require the support of the wives of the State Governors to reach every nook and cranny of the country noting that looking at the past can most assuredly chart a path for the present and future and this can best be done collectively for better and more sustainable impact.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu assured the Governors’ wives that the RHI will in no way interfere with their personal programmes and projects noting that she believes that support from RHI would be impactful.
She said, “I wish to remind each of us that the exalted positions we are in today should be seen as an opportunity to impact more meaningfully, not only in the lives of people in your States but Nigeria as a whole”.
While speaking with journalists after the meeting, Amb. (Dr.) Olufolake Abdulrazaq,
wife of Kwara State Governor, assured of the willingness and commitment of the wives of the Governors to support RHI, stating that they will go back to elect Zonal Chairmen who will take up the mantle to ensure that the grassroots are reached.
She also confirmed that RHI will not in any way affect their individual projects in their various States but instead complement their own efforts.
The Renewed Hope Initiative is a pet project of the Office of The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON.
