Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Nigeria’s First Lady, announced that 37,000 women will benefit from a ₦50,000 recapitalisation grant through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI). During a ceremony in Makurdi, where she presented food items to internally displaced persons (IDPs), people with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups, she revealed that the grant will be given to 1,000 women from each of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This initiative is part of the RHI’s broader women empowerment programme and will officially launch on August 22.
The event also highlighted the distribution of a truckload of assorted food items as part of the RHI’s “Food Outreach Scheme,” aimed at supporting underprivileged communities.

FCT Teachers Strike Over Unpaid Arrears
Teachers in FCT government schools have started an indefinite strike over the non-payment of 60% of owed arrears by the Area Councils. This strike follows a 14-day ultimatum from the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and continues previous actions demanding overdue payments and allowances.
The NUT, led by Abdullahi Shafa, resumed the strike after the councils failed to meet their financial obligations. The strike will persist until the councils address demands for the remaining wage arrears, salary increases, and allowances. Parents are advised to keep their children at home, and teachers are instructed to follow union directives. Efforts to reach officials for comment were unsuccessful.
