First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Donates Rice and Cash to 2,400 Bauchi Households
In a significant act of charity, Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, has extended her support to the residents of Bauchi State by donating 25kg bags of rice to 2,400 households.
This initiative was highlighted in a video posted by AIT on its X account on Tuesday.
The donation was confirmed by Aisha Bala, the wife of Governor Bala Muhammed of Bauchi State.
She elaborated that each of the 2,400 beneficiary households not only received a 25kg bag of rice but was also given N10,000 from her office.
Aisha Bala expressed gratitude on behalf of the beneficiaries, acknowledging the impact of the contribution.
She praised Oluremi Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Initiative for its role in alleviating food insecurity and thanked both the First Lady and Governor Bala Muhammed for their generosity.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has reacted to rumours claiming it has approved Adire as the new fabric for the NYSC uniform.
It can be recalled that the Federal Government recently announced plans to review the NYSC uniform, which sparked speculation online that Adire had already been selected as its replacement.
However, the government has clarified that no final decision has been made regarding the new uniform.
“I mentioned Adire during the discussion. I also mentioned Ankara. My intention was simply to cite examples of some of the proposals that have been put forward in the course of our consultations. It was not an announcement that any particular fabric has been adopted or approved to replace the current NYSC uniform.”
