Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, says the present administration will continue to intensify efforts to address hunger and child malnutrition through the establishment of community food banks and expanded food outreach programmes under the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI)
Oluremi stated this on Tuesday in Akure, Ondo state capital, during the Donation of Food items to Vulnerable Groups in the state.
Represented by the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, Tinubu said the intervention is part of the Renewed Hope Initiative’s commitment to supporting vulnerable Nigerians and ensuring children have the opportunity to grow, remain healthy and thrive.
The First Lady said the Renewed Hope Initiative complements the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by supporting Nigerians to pursue their aspirations irrespective of their circumstances or status, while addressing food insecurity and malnutrition.
She said the Food Outreach Scheme was launched in March 2024 to provide food items to persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, thereby supporting their families and improving their well-being.
“No Nigerian Should go hungry, that is our mandate and part of our vision for Renewed Hope Initiative,” she said.
According to her, the programme was made possible through the commitment of two donors who provide two truckloads of food items to the Renewed Hope Initiative every month, allowing two states to benefit monthly.
