Senator Oluremi Tinubu Supports 1,000 Women Traders in Rivers State
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has provided financial support to 1,000 women petty traders across Rivers State through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), which she chairs. During a recent event at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Lady Valerie Siminalayi Fubara, the Rivers State Governor’s wife and RHI’s state coordinator, presented cheques of ₦50,000 each to the beneficiaries.
This initiative, known as the Economic Empowerment Programme Recapitalisation Grants, aims to enhance the livelihoods of petty traders and drive economic growth in the region, with a total of ₦1.850 billion allocated to support 37,000 women nationwide.
Lady Fubara emphasized the importance of empowering women economically, noting that their success contributes to family and community prosperity. She highlighted that the program prioritizes beneficiaries from rural areas and includes monitoring to prevent exploitation. Additionally, the event featured the donation of 10,000 exercise books to public schools in the state, showcasing RHI’s broader commitment to supporting education and local economies.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
