Wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated N1 billion to the Niger State Government to support communities affected by various disasters across the state
Speaking at the Government House in Minna on Tuesday, Senator Tinubu said the funds should be directed toward housing support and the provision of essential supplies for displaced families. She noted that the intervention is part of the Renewed Hope Initiative and is aimed at helping victims rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
“These gestures are meant for those affected by various challenges. Ensure it gets to the victims of flood, banditry, boat mishaps, and fire disasters across the state,” she said.
In addition to the monetary support, the First Lady donated 2,000 bags of 50kg rice, clothing, and shoes. She expressed deep sympathy for the victims, offering prayers for comfort and healing in the face of their losses.
“As a mother, I share in your pains and grief over those irreplaceable losses and devastations. I believe we can all collectively help these victims in their various communities,” she added.
Senator Tinubu also commended President Bola Tinubu for his swift approval of funds and food items to aid in recovery efforts, especially for communities affected by recent flooding in Mokwa.
Receiving the donation, Niger State Governor Umaru Bago thanked the First Lady for the timely support, noting that the state had recently faced a series of devastating incidents, including floods, boat accidents, fire outbreaks, bandit attacks, and insurgency.
He assured that the donation would be used effectively to support victims and help communities recover.
