Oluremi Tinubu Announces ₦50,000 Grant for 37,000 Women
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. Governor Hyacient Alia praised the First Lady for her support to Benue’s vulnerable populations and promised to enhance the distribution efforts. The Special Adviser on Women Affairs in Benue, Mrs. Scholastica Sor, noted that the state has received significant support from the RHI and anticipates further assistance, including an agriculture programme benefiting over 200 women.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
