The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has said that Nigerians should look beyond the present situation in the country and see a bigger picture, which has light at the end of the tunnel.


Senator Tinubu was speaking, while receiving the wives of Service Chiefs and that of the Inspector General of Police, led by the wife of the wife of Chief of Defence Staff and President, Defence and Police Officers Wives Association, Mrs Oghogho Musa.

The First Lady assured that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing everything possible to ensure that it cushions the effects of the fuel subsidy removal until the gains of the policy begins to materialize. 

According to a statement by the Special Adviser, Media to the First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs Busola Kukoyi, Senator Tinubu said that her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) is also supporting the government in this regard, saying that this is why she is soliciting the support of the wives of the Service Chiefs.

“We will need your various Associations from time to time, at least to be able to reach out to women in your various barracks, to reassure them that we mean well for this country, and that they should be patient and that whatever we can do to ameliorate what the subsidy has meted to us, we believe there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

“It is a greater Nigeria we are looking out for and it is a legacy that our children and generations yet unborn will inherit.

"We would leave a Nigeria, where we can relate better and also look for the good of this nation and ensure that the wealth of this country is better enhanced," she said.

The First Lady also promised that the RHI would soon be reaching out to vulnerable widows of fallen officers in the military.  

Earlier, the leader of the delegation, wife of the Chief of Defence Staff and President, Defence and Police Officers Wives Association, Mrs Oghogho Musa assured that the various Associations under Defence and Police Officers wives are poised to partner with the Renewed Hope Initiative in all areas of its scope of coverage namely Agriculture, Education, Health, Economic Empowerment and Social Investment. 

Mrs Musa said that this is importantly so because these are all areas of interest to all the Associations.

The First lady was then decorated as the Grand Matron of the Defence and Police Officers Wives Association, which is as enshrined in the constitution of the various associations.
