The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, was warmly received today at the Lagos State House, Marina by Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, where she held a high-level interactive session with traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community stakeholders drawn from across the state.
The gathering provided a platform for grassroots leaders to engage directly with the First Lady on the impact of her flagship programme, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), which has been driving interventions targeted at vulnerable groups, the elderly, and underserved communities nationwide.
Speaking during the visit, Senator Tinubu reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring that the Renewed Hope Initiative continues to transcend political affiliations and ethnic divisions, bringing succour to Nigerians irrespective of their location.
Over the past two years, the Initiative has delivered wide-ranging support programmes, from empowerment schemes to welfare packages, across both ruling and opposition-controlled states. Community leaders at the meeting testified to the far-reaching benefits of the intervention, noting that the First Lady’s efforts have become a beacon of inclusivity and compassion in national development.
“Her Excellency has shown that leadership is about touching lives, not politics,” one traditional ruler remarked during the session, applauding the First Lady for extending her programmes beyond partisan lines.
In Lagos, stakeholders highlighted how the Initiative has provided vital relief for widows, market women, youths, and senior citizens, reinforcing the social support system at the community level.
Senator Tinubu expressed gratitude for the feedback and pledged that her office would continue to design and expand sustainable projects that restore hope and strengthen resilience in Nigerian households.
Her visit underscored the growing consensus that the Renewed Hope Initiative is a unifying intervention, bridging divides while bringing visible transformation to ordinary Nigerians.
